re: For the few snake lovers...

Hognose? We used to find those suckers everywhere when I was a kid growing up in Slidell. My mom never would let me, but I had a few friends who kept a couple as pets. They were cool little snakes. Came across a few being eaten by Speckled Kings at different times. I distinctly remember walking along a trail in the woods by Fritchie Park and right on side of the trail there was one eating a Hognose. I tapped it with a stick, because I didn't realize what was going on and the King Snake spit out the part of the Hognose it had swallowed so far and took off.
