Eastern or Western Hognose is the highflutin name, Puff Adder or Puff Viper for the show they put on, no doubt--like a cobra imitation with the flared hood. I remember seeing them as a kid but don't recall if it was in Indiana or Michigan.
He really put on the dog before rolling over to play dead. Must have something in common with possums...
Roundoak--that is a cool looking snake with the three patterns. I don't think Michigan has those. I used to see both blue racers and black snakes pretty regularly but of late they are pretty scarce.
Bobby Tomek gave me a rundown on Texas Copperheads--they won't be missed here...:)
