Water Cobra, altho if I remember correctly, they are not beginner snakes, quite difficult to keep. But dont quote me, was a long time ago I read about them.

Hognose snakes flatten their necks like a hood, but they dont rear up which Im assuming is what you mean.

Hope it helped!
 
re hood poisonous

why does it have to have a hood? if u want a pseudo cobra u can get a false water cobra lots of people like them because they got cobra in thier name and they got a little bitty hood, they never stop asking or talking about thier little fangs and how quick they kill a moose.
 
Eastern Hognose?

its an ophistoglyph, a rear fanged non dwa species popular among wannabe hot keepers

thier easy to keep just messy, reasonably big 6/7ft ish, theres a hypo line but not very pretty, thier angry eaters never seen a snake attack a dead mouse like fwc's, best kept seperately, very easy to breed, can become quite tame if u put the effort in. will eat anything not fussy, big babies another commom name is the brazilian smooth snake, oh and they like to lay in a big water tub when thier warm, and they poo like an indigo.

i just think the hoods are cool, i will look in to a Eastern Hognose but itll be a long time till i have the money for one

thanks guys n girls
 
If you find an Eastern hoggy, make sure it is eating mice! Addy is just the sweetest snake ever. I've had her about a year, and she still hisses very loudly and hoods up and stands up like a cobra (because she's a scaredy-snake). She would _never_ bite. She has taken a couple blind closed-mouth strikes at me, though, now that I am treating that painful abcess. Who can blame her. She's such a baby- she watched Snakes On A Plane with me and was so scared by the thunderstorm she had to hide her head!

i move in to my own flat in a few weeks so then ill try a save for a Eastern Hognose are there diffrent types like corns if so so me pics if you have any

regards terry
 
They aren't very popular, so good luck. They come in several variations of normal- black and tan or grey patterned with either yellow or red or green accents under the jaw and maybe more. I _think_ there's a leucistic wild-caught being raised now. Also solid black is very common.
