They are known as bull snakes or bullsnakes because of the deep hissing/rumbling sound they make when nervous, which can be reminiscent of a bellowing bull, as well as their overall defensive display of rearing up like a rattlesnake and rattling their tail in leaves, all of which is a bluff; the snake is not venomous, and rarely bites.

The western hognose snake is primarily diurnal. It is typically a docile snake (though known to be highly defensive in some individuals). If threatened (or perceiving a threat), it may flatten its neck (much like a cobra), hiss, and make 'mock' or 'bluff' strikes if harassed, which are strikes made at an intruder but with the snakes' mouth closed.
