Here’s my first Chihuahuan Hook-Nosed Snake, Gyalopion canum. I’ve only ever seen two, and I’m apparently lucky, as I know of a few guys that have been doing this a lot longer than me that have never seen one. They’re small fossorial snakes that, like the Sonoran Coralsnake, defends itself by scaring away predators with its scary farts. It sounds like some little kid making fart sounds in their armpit. Strange but true.
