Did you know that hognose snakes pop toads? This is a popular snake fun fact. It’s believed by not just the general public but experienced reptile keepers and herpetologists as well. However it actually isn’t true! The herpetologist that learned hognoses eat toads saw their enlarged rear fangs, knew that toads puffed up when defensive and deduced that those fangs must be used to pop toads case closed... without actually looking into it. This fact spread throughout the reptile community and was assumed to be true. Even though we now have literature to disprove it. A hognose snake’s rear fangs server 2 main purposes. Delivering venom to prey and guiding the prey better down their throat. I heard of a study that measured hognose snakes’ rear fang length and compared that to the toads and learned that their fangs were too short to go all the way through the toad’s skin. I was unable to locate this study. It does probably exist I just couldn’t find it. However I did find another study that I believe was focused on the feeding behavior of hognose snakes (by hognose snakes I’m reoffering specifically to genus Heterodon and maybe tricolor hogs I’m unsure about them) including how the hognoses ate toads. They found that they did deflate toads but they didn’t “pop” them. After the hognose had gotten most of the toad into it’s mouth it would use it’s strong jaws to press down. This did not “pop” the toad but rather the pressure was great enough that it pressed the air out of the toad likely through the toad’s mouth. Think of it as pressing down on a balloon or pool float to remove the air faster rather than popping it with a pin or an extreme amount of pressure. I don’t have the study on hand but I can go try to locate it again if anyone wants to give it a read.

Summary: George, homeless and adrift, is an outlaw of the Mad King's reign. He'd spent the last two months being hunted across the wilderness at the fringe of society by a ruthless killer in a smiling mask and bright green coat. This, he understood. What he didn't understand is why such a ruthless killer kept letting him go.
