Just a vid I put together of some of the hoggie defense techniques. All of these were my animals. Lots of head butting, but never bite. Enjoy

Another short vid without the music of the western girl in shed so you can get the full effect of her hissing!

Really cool video Jenea, do the tris ever play dead?

Cool videos! I never had any of mine play dead before.......

Nice videos! I really like watching them play dead... it is so funny how even they will turn themselves back over if you right them.....

VERY COOL VIDEO JENEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:yourock:

Thanks all. Nope, the tris never play dead, they just flop around like a worm.

Thanky darlin' :D I LOVED that. I've got a story about that too, but I'll save it for a slow day:lol:

Funny how they right themselves when they get flipped beacause everything thats dead lies on its back right.. :lol

Awesome vids there hoggie queen

Very cool vids!! I've never seen any of these defenses before. Do they not bite?? It looks like they just hit you with their head.. Thanks for sharing these..

Alan

Just a lot of head butting is all. I have never been biten by a hoggie.

Awesome. Never saw that before.

I like the little guy in the first video. He just wont give it up. No matter how many times he gets flipped over hes not breaking character. Dead snake, Im a dead snake, look my tongues hanging out, dead snake here. LOL!

And the third vid is the best. When he lifts himself up and hoods. I gotta admit that would freak me out a little. :)

Much to their demise they BELIEVE a dead snake lies on it's back. So when you flip them over they flip back. I always got a kick out of that.

In this area they call them puff adders or blow adders beause of the way they spread their neck and hiss so loudly. Many actually believe them to be venomous. You just can't convince some people.

That third guy did a pretty darn good job looking venomous. If I wasnt a snakey kinda guy and I happened across that sucker in the woods Id be ghost! :)

Terrific vids-I'd never seen that before, only heard it...:rockon:
