Harley was someone’s pet, but they were moving to NY where hognose snakes are not permitted.

A small but heavily bodied snake that can reach up to 3 feet but usually averages around 2 feet, it has an upturned and pointed snout.

Areas with well-drained soil and little vegetation like dry prairies of oak savannas which are good for burrowing.

Southern Canada, through the plains of the US and into northern parts of Mexico.

The Western Hognose can live between 14-18 years in the wild but has been known to reach 20 years in captivity.

Frogs, toads, lizards, smaller snakes, eggs, babies will eat some insects.

As many as 39 eggs are laid in early summer and incubation time is around 50 days.
