Heterodon platirhinos — Wallach, K. Williams & Boundy, 2014
The eastern hog-nosed snake[3] (Heterodon platirhinos), is a species of mildly venomous rear-fanged snake in the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to North America.[4] There are no subspecies that are recognized as being valid.[3] This species prefers habitats with sandy soils and a combination of grass fields and forest edges.[5] They come in many different colorations and have the identifiable upturned "snout".[6] They can be found in captivity but are a more difficult species to keep due to a specialized diet of toads.
