What am I looking at here...

- 12-18 inches
- SOB's head flattened out pretty much when I approached him
- head got about twice as wide as his body when he flattened it
- I am in Texas

I thought it was just a chicken snake but I dont think that I have ever seen ones head flatten out as much as this one did...wish I could of gotten a pick of it while it was flat.

I can't see shite on my phone but flattening out the head sounds like hog nose snake.


Looks like a rat snake but bad pic.

I agree with Rize. Looks like a juvenile hog-nosed snake.

I blew a hog nose's head off when I was about 13 thinking it was a damn king cobra!
