Eastern Hognose Plays Dead

Juvenile Heterodon platirhinos plays dead, goes limp, and is very persistent that upside-down and dead are one in the same. Snake was released approx. 10 mins later into a mouse burrow.

I love how they flip over to assure you that they are very dead

[janeilnold]

I love how it keeps flipping back over at the end.

“Bleh! I’m dead”
“I’m still very much dead”
“Stop! I am dead!”

[themissingsock]

Oh my gosh that is the cutest thing ever. I like how it continuously flips over like, "nope, I'm dead!"

[britters]

"oh no im dieing.." *flails around dramatically*

[Lenlon]

That's a lot of movement for a dead snake... oh well, it's lying on it's back and the tongue's out so it's definitely dead

[ezrastardust]

“Ohhhh, the pain, the agony! Tell my eggs I love them! Bleh!”
“Tony, I didn’t even touch you!”
“Shhh, I’m dead! Bleh!”

[princerechebei]

Human: “Oh cool a snake”

Hognose: “Goodbye cruel world”

"What's wrong? Snake? Snake!?

"Noooo, you're alive."
"Nope, dead!"
"Noo, ali-"
"Dead!"
Lmao

😂😂😂😂I love how he acts out the actual death so the person doesn't think he's faking it

[elliottgaylord]

I love how it spends so much time flailing dramatically before it finally flops over. Like "Oh, the pain! The agony! It's unbearable! Oh, the HERPETOLOGY! I'm dying, DYING I tell you!!! I can see the light... Grandma? Is that you, come to take me to the other side?? Oh, I am not long for this world. Tell my mother... I love 😵


GOODBYE, CRUEL WORLD!! 🥀⚰️"

"Dude no leave me alone ffs. I'm trying to snake over here."

[randomrainbowww]

[Ast.Rickley]

Me: Wait so you're dead?
Snek: Always have been.

[ZomCage]

[samgibson]

It's so funny how it's like "no I'm dead I'm laying on my back" and just keeps going on it's back over and over😂

[morganicsmoothie]

"Snake was released approx. 10 mins later into a mouse burrow." MY he got more than a fair payment for his acting. lmao

[violetmcdaniel]

This is THE funniest, cutest thing I have ever seen! The flipping itself over and over again was hilarious! It acted like the witch in the wizard of oz, “Oh! WHAT A WORRLDDD”
Absolutely adorable.

This is the equivalent of shouting incoherently, dropping on the floor shirtless and dancing when met with a robber/mugger
