That's crazy, I just wish he would have killed the poor thing before swallowing him. That must be an awful way to go :'( I know I know, I'm a softie, but that's why I'm glad I'm buying my BP off someone who starts them on frozen/thawed mice :)
UnkownFB11, the toxin from the toad can NOT harm the eastern hognose. Their diet is about 99% toads in my area. . .and they are completely immune to toad toxins. Read up on them, they are toad specialists. Best, Kenny (NaturalistGuy).
wow.. little bit hard to watch, but cool!.. im getting a western hognose.. when i was reading about it i was informed that the pet store should be feeding the snake pinkies or else it wouldnt accept them when i bring it home (meaning it might only want to eat toads-due to the scent) do you know anything about this? does your snake only feed on toads??
they actually make good pets. my science teacher has one in a cage in his class, and it doesn't bite at all. it'll just slither around in your hands. I love it! btw good vid.
Cool xxXpepsi12Xxx very cool! And jjaassoonngg my road is covered with toads. Hundreds, crushed and alive.

Eurostar710, the question of why the hognose snakes venom does not subdue the toads (in my feeding observations) is a big question I have.

The poison from that toad can harm the sanke homie, I'd be careful.

@UnknownFB11 the poison wont do no harm as its not getting into the snakes blood stream....these snakes eat toads in the wild

Cootersowner, that's a carpet in my hallway LOL. The snake was kept on sand and detritus form its habitat.
