The Eastern Hognose Snake is named for its distinctive upturned nose and flat head, and many people mistake it for a venomous snake. It can be found in dry lands of Indiana. Eastern Hognose Snakes come in black, olive, brown and so forth, and they feature patterns of irregular splotches and mottles. If threatened, the snake lands preventive strokes on the enemy, using its head, and then plays dead.
