[QUOTE=Rangerxlt;1541181]It's a spreading nator, or spreading adder. Say both names quickly and they sound similar. Somewhere along the way the spelling got messed up. Most call it a spreading nator around here. It's also known as a puff adder or hog nosed.[/QUOTE ]
What he said, It is harmless and puts on a good show. Book name Hognose snake. Called a ''Spreading Adder or Puff Adder''. Eats toads and such, cannot make it bite. Will act bad then if that does'nt work it sometimes plays Opposum "acts dead" lol lolRoflThumbs Up
