Nice Find

Found this little guy crossing the road about a mile from my house this morning. The wife and I were taking some friends and family out on our boat for a day on the Suwannee/Santa Fe river system, and if I hadn't forgot my wallet and been delayed a few extra minutes, I probably would have either run him over or not seen him at all. He was right smack in the middle of the road as I passed him, and had me thinking he was a leaf at first. He looks to be a couple of weeks old, and popped as a male. I believe this is a southern hognose, as one can tell from the lighter tail color and more pronounced up-turn to the nose.
