Heterodon kennerlyi Kennicott 1860

Heterodon nasicus kennerlyi is a heavy-bodied blotched snake with an upturned snout. Total length 16- 25 inches (41–64 cm); females much larger than males. Dorsal ground color tan, brown or gray with distinct series of dark brown, cinnamon or chocolate blotches down back, with similarly colored spots on the sides. Ventrally heavily marked with blackish marbling. Two to six small, irregular azygous scales separate the prefrontals from the frontal and internasals from the rostral. The rostral is sharply upturned and concave dorsally. The pre-, post-, and subocular scales form an ocular ring and range in number from 9-13. The anterior temporals number 2-5 and posterior temporals 3-7. Infralabials number 9-13, usually 10-11. The two large anterior chin shields are broadly in contact, whereas the posterior chin shields are reduced in size or are absent. The anal plate (cloacal scute) and subcaudals range fro 35-50 in males and 26-41 in females. The dorsal bady scales are keeled, with 21-26 rows anteriorly, 19-26 rows at midbody, and 16-23 rows anterior to the cloaca. The maxilla is short and deep, with the mesial process curving posteriorly toward the posteroir process. About ten teeth occur on the maxilla, four in the palatine, nine of the pterygoid and fourteen on the dentary. They are mostly nocturnal, spending a significant period of time underground. Uses its spade like snout to dig for its prey. Considered mildly venomous, but not dangerous. When disturbed, they flatten their head and neck and emit a loud hissing noise.

Heterodon kennerlyi, also known as the Mexican hognose snake, is a snake of the colubrid family. It is found in southern Texas in the United States and Mexico.
