The western hognose snake is a small, stout-bodied snake with an upturned nose that looks a bit like a pig's snout. It lives across much of North America, from southern Canada to northern Mexico, in sandy and gravelly places such as prairies and grasslands. It is often mistaken for a rattlesnake, but its bite is not regarded as dangerous to people.1

Ano ang kinakain nito?
It mainly eats amphibians, such as large and medium tree frogs, small or medium toads and small lizards, and occasionally a rodent. It is not a true constrictor, so it bites and chews, driving its rear fangs into prey.1

Paano ito makikilala

  • Relatively small and stout-bodied, with adults rarely exceeding 40–50 cm in total length, tail included.1
  • A modified, upturned nose scale gives it a distinctive hog-like snout.1
  • Colour and pattern vary a great deal between subspecies and individuals.1
  • When threatened, it flattens its neck, hisses and may puff up its throat with air.1

Madalas mapagkamalang: To an untrained eye, most individuals look much like rattlesnakes, which is thought to be a form of mimicry that makes predators wary. Its upturned snout and small, stout body are features to note.1

Mga kagat

Lumalabas ang kamandag sa pangil o ngipin nito kapag nangangagat ito.

Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?

The snake releases modified saliva from its Duvernoy's glands, which runs down a groove in its rear fang and helps break down the toxins of toads it eats. No deaths or whole-body (systemic) effects in people have been recorded from its bite. Bites may occasionally be medically significant.1

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?

Panganib sa tao: BanayadParang kagat ng bubuyog o mas mahina. Halos hindi nakapipinsala sa tao.

The species is not dangerous to people and is not regarded as venomous. Its bites are extremely rare, and no deaths or systemic effects have been recorded. Bites may uncommonly be medically significant.1

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

It flattens its neck, hisses and may make mock strikes with its mouth closed. If harassed further, it usually plays dead rather than biting.1

Kung kumagat ito

  • Hugasan ang kagat, panatilihing kalmado ang tao at kumuha ng tulong medikal. May mga species (gaya ng boomslang) na puwedeng nakamamatay makalipas ang ilang oras.

Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas

Mag-ingat

  • Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
  • Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
  • Kung kagatin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.

Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact

1

Captive breeders have produced more than 50 'designer' colour morphs of this snake.1

2

In captivity, many hognose snakes refuse food for about two to three and a half months, from January to mid March, because they instinctively brumate, or sleep, underground in winter.1

3

Males are considerably smaller than females.1

4

Hatchlings reach sexual maturity after about two years, based mostly on size rather than age.1

Myth buster

Mito: Because it looks like a rattlesnake, it must be dangerous or deadly.

Totoo: The western hognose snake is not dangerous to people. Its rare bites have not caused recorded deaths or whole-body effects, and it usually plays dead instead of biting.1
