The false water cobra and hog nose snakes aren't mimicking the cobra. That's a lie you were told in school that has more to do with Lamarckian Evolution than more accurate models of evolution. Development of similar traits happens throughout nature. A cute little western hognose has never seen a cobra. They are the way they are because they happened to develop a trait and were successful. That's all there is to it.

Thamnophis species have Duvernoy's glands, which may be analogous to venom glands in Crotalidae (pit viper) species. The progressive local effects produced by secretions of these glands may be confused with early Crotalidae envenomation. (www.annemergmed.com/article/S0196-0644(94)70113-X/pdf) Both statements are actually wrong according to my sources of which this is just one.

@@ErwinNieuwenburg The Wandering or Terrestrial Garter Snake (Thamnophis elegans vagrans) has grooved rear enlarged teeth and produce a rather painful bite if they can sink them in, they also chew as the bite to work their toxic saliva into the wound. Used to have a breeding pair and had been bitten a couple of times, once I got nailed by the fangs. It is the only venomous garter snake species of concern, that is listed as venomous in my area out of maybe a half dozen species.

Voracious eaters, just not much info out there. Need some captive breeding. Another very interesting rear fanged- the Montpellier snake. A large very active colubrid that appears to have a social hierarchy in the wild. Not a lot of captive husbandry info in North America. Idea for future video?

My son came home with one. I checked her out and made sure that she was ok. The problem was my son was 8 and wasn't listening to me when I said to let her go. He didn't and momma got involved. So I now had a 2ft long garder snake wild caught. Hmmm. This snake was so cool and glad I kept her. Then one day I was sitting on the couch and asked my son if he threw nightcrawlers into her aquarium. He said no. I got up and looked. She had 5 babies. Now I have 6 garder snakes an eastern diamondback rattlesnake and a couple other different subs of rattlesnakes. But considering that I had never owned a garter snake. This is a very good pet. But my son's won't eat anything other than frogs!!!!!!! So baby bullfrogs are on the menu for her with tree frogs. The 5 others eat anything that hit the ground in front of them. Lol. Don't really like taking wild snakes out of the wild. But as my wife pointed out. I did with the rattlesnakes. But they were going to die and I can't stress this enough. The home owners were going to kill them. I didn't have a safe place to relocate them to and getting permits after the fact isn't easy. But with my knowledge of Gators and Crocs they gave them to me. Anyway a great pet for beginners. They will eat most of the time without any problems.

My understanding of why many different snakes will hood up is to make themselves look bigger to potential threats. They’re not mimicking each other. As many know, king cobras aren’t true cobras, but are more closely related to mambas, but it’s a lesser known fact that mambas can hood up, too (just not as wide as a king cobra, and nowhere near as wide as a true cobra)

It's kind of like how most colubrids will vibrate their tails -- it's not actually mimicking the rattlesnake, it's a defense that probably predates the evolution of the rattle. Similarly, many snakes will flatten their heads to appear larger, true cobras, falsies, and several other elapids developed a specialized version of a common defense.

The issue with videos like this.... I'm not an expert. I'd love to but I think I'm over my head on this one.

with the falsies hooding up, it could be a couple things really. could be parallel evolution/adaptation (whichever word youd rather use), for instance, the cobra probably evolved its hood to appear bigger in a display to threats and the falsies may have also evolved it for this reason rather than mimicry, whats interesting is that falsies can stretch out their entire bodies width-wise, not just the 'hood' area whereas true cobras can only stretch out the hood area

I used to have an Eastern Hognose. I've never had a western, but from what I have seen, their temperaments differ. The eastern seems to be a bit more chill and relaxed, at least mine was. Here in Indiana, they were illegal to own for a while, because people were depleting them in the wild due to their popularity. That has since changed, but they are still difficult to find. Western hognoses tend to be more abundant in shops and at expos.

I'd love to own a mangrove snake. They're gorgeous!!

Twig Snakes and Boomslangs are deadly but super cool rear-fanged snakes.

Hognose bites can be pretty rough if you're allergic to their venom. The bite site will swell and balloon for a few days, you'll have some discoloration while it heals. They are usually super placid though and you usually get bit when they mistake your hand for a mouse. Make sure to wash you hands thoroughly after feeding to avoid this.

I did some light research and the Baron's Racer, though generally non-aggressive, is the only snake on your list whose venom is considered dangerous to humans. This according to Wikipedia.

Love our fwc :) gotta be one of the less common ones out there

I live in oklahoma and as a kid I use to play with wild snakes and one that I'd find was what I was told was a spread nana which I think is an eastern hognose snake but that didn't look like a hognose and I can't find wild ones anymore or anything on the internet that looks like that did but it had a really big hood with a almost smile face and were mostly yellow will some browns and blacks

Regarding your questions about why New World Colubrids “mimic” Old World cobras… They may have shared common ancestry. Some Colubrids are related to Elapids and therefore share a similar defensive behavior.

Good point about the false water cobras. I would assume Water cobra doesnt actually mimic a old world cobra like the king cobra does for instince. Its more of a convergent evolutionary trait that resembles a true cobra but the fact it doesnt hold his head up might be the the proof its just a convergent trait. Lots of snakes puff them selfs up or do thing to seem bigger.

There is a species of Colubrid that's related to the Garter species called a Ribbon Snake.

My first ever venomous was a Boiga Dendrophila. They are magnificent, defense so it trains you, but the Venom not medically significant. The two times I've been tagged I've only had one reaction. It was slightly worse then a bee sting.

I know why the false water cobra has a hood. Same reason why some hongnose snakes flatten out. It's convergent evolution, not mimicry, where similar traits evolve in unrelated species that give them an advantage. Obviously a hood is a good defense mechanism, so it makes sense that it would show up in unrelated species. Like how the fish body plan has also been seen in mammals (wales or porpoises) and reptiles (ichthosaur/now extinct).

My favourite rear-fanged snakes are chrysopelea ornata and chrysopelea paradisi. Their "common" name is paradise flying snakes. sadly they are 1. Not as usually kept as a pet, so its hard to find one and impossible to find captive breed ones 2. Expensive and you always have to import them 3. hard to care for and nothing for a beginner which I am :(

to the hood on the false water cobra: I think it’s covalent evolution. There are some animals that look similar to another species that doesn’t live in that area, for example hedgehogs and Echidna, one is a Placentalia and one is a Marsupial, but they look very similar. Or the three fingered sloth and the two fingered sloth, who are not really closely related but show lots of similarities despite the very uncommon and kinda ineffective lifestyle. So i guess the false water cobra developed a hood because it gave an fitness advantage (fitness in evolution) of some kind, just like it did with “real” cobras.

So far as the false water cobras hooding up, and this is just an opinion, but just as allot of snakes will rattle their tails as a rattlesnake does as a premptive defense mechanism we consider it mimicking. I don't think they are necessarily mimicking anything, it's just a defense mechanism because it makes noise and gets a potential predators attention, and this is just pre disposed in most all snakes, and it's their natural instinct. Rattle snakes just have a better system for which to do it, like an adder has a better hiss mechanism than a boa does. Just like some snakes hood up so it makes them look bigger to potential predators and their able to do this because of the nature of their physiology. Allot of snakes hood up if they can. Mambas for example, but they aren't considered to be mimicking cobras, I've seen eastern hognose snakes do this commonly as well. I think a boa would hood for defense if it could but it can't. It hisses, no one says they are mimicking an adder though. I've seen cobras roll over and play dead just like a hog nose snake, but I've never heard it said they were "mimicking" a hognose snake, just that "look they are playing dead just like a hognose snake does". I think they are doing whatever their predisposed to do naturally to protect themselves, and I believe the defense mechanisms are spread out among all species and we just assume it's one mimicking another because one is dangerous and the other may not be.... make sense? It's just my opinion however, I began to think this when I first started keeping snakes many years ago and realized they damn near all rattle their tails especially when they are little and "mimicking" isn't going on in their little lima bean size brains, just food and survival and the traits are each ones very own. No mimicking going on.... just an opinion.
