Baby Hog -- Eastern Hog-nosed Snake (Heterodon platirhinos)


Eastern hognose snake hatching.

Most snakes will slit their leathery egg just enough to poke their head out,
depending on the species the hatchlings will spend 3 to 30 hours in this
half-in-half-out position. Usually the complete departure from the egg
happens during the cover of darkness.

Heterodon platirhinos, commonly known as the eastern hog-nosed snake, spreading adder or deaf adder, is a harmless colubrid species endemic to North America. Heterodon platirhinos is found from eastern-central Minnesota, and Wisconsin to southern Ontario, Canada and extreme southern New Hampshire, south to southern Florida and west to eastern Texas and western Kansas.
