Do you mean its conservation/legal status (IUCN, US federal, state), or population/trend information? Which listing system or state are you interested in?
Brief overview while you decide:
- The southern hognose snake (Heterodon simus) is a southeastern U.S. species that has declined in many parts of its range.
- Major threats: habitat loss and fragmentation (development and conversion of xeric sandhill/scrub habitat), suppression of natural fire regimes, road mortality, and collection.
- Because of these declines it’s considered a species of conservation concern: various state agencies give it protective status or list it as a species of concern, and conservation groups treat it as at-risk. Exact status differs by listing authority (IUCN, NatureServe, USFWS, individual states).
If you tell me which listing you want (IUCN, NatureServe, US Endangered Species Act, or a particular state), I’ll provide the current status and cite the relevant authority.
