Abstract:
Of the three North American species of hognose snake, two occur in North Carolina. The Eastern hognose snake is the more common of the two. It is found throughout the state but is most common in the Coastal Plain. The Southern hognose snake is smaller, more secretive, and more habitat restricted, preferring the Sandhills and southeastern Coastal Plain. Both snakes are harmless, though often mistaken for venomous ones. Their name derives from their wedge-shaped nostril scale, which they use for digging and which gives them a pug-nosed appearance.

With new technology becoming more easily accessible and cost-effective, the museum has begun incorporating different techniques to study animals in the wild. The Southern Hognose snake in Sandhills and the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the Appalachian mountain range are two species that have been studied using technological advancements. These approaches have already led to new observations regarding these species.
