One reason I really love working with hognose snakes is that they are VERY expressive.
I had Galaga with me in the nature center today and some kids saw her in her feeding bin after having just eaten and said they wanted to hold her, to which I said, "No, she just ate lunch, so we are not going to touch her."
The kids, hearing this, reached into her feeding bin and touched her anyway. A rat snake or a ball python would have politely ignored this, but Galaga flattened her head and let out a long, loud hiss. The kids shrieked and jumped halfway across the room, and their parents gave them a very smug "weren't you listening?"
This animal is very good at saying No! A valuable lesson for all of us to learn.

"Well now you got me second guessing… 🤨"
Apparently, Sami has been pronouncing the video game ‘Galaga’ wrong all his life.

Henry wrapped his gift to me in no fewer than four layers of paper with two types of tape. Totally worth it.
