To some animal with poor vision a fast moving checkered swirly moving snake might look like a bunch of little bugs or something and while whatever it is sits there and tries to figure out what it has stumbled upon...poof... it's gone. I've never even seen nor heard of a Western hog play dead.

John...They always make me feel bad because every one I have ever made play dead didn't just drool but puked up everything in it's guts which is usually like 5 or 6 toads. Such a waste of toad...so I've had my fun and now I try and avoid all that cause I know how hard toads can be to come by sometimes lol.

thanks julius i wont try to make them get sick. my nephew would kill me anyways. but they are very pretty. i have to go there everyday till i find a good home for vanity or my nephew decides to keep her. my daughter works there and gave her fresh water and she tried to bite her too.
