Eastern hognoses are native to North America, and like to live in habitats with sandy soil, so it’s not unusual to find them on beaches, the DNR said.
OCEAN CITY, Md.– A snake materializing from the ocean isn’t typical for a beach visit in Maryland, but that was the case last weekend.
On Saturday, beachgoers in Ocean City were shocked when a large black snake slithered onto the beach from the waves.
Video taken by Roxanne Fanagan showed the reptile slithering through the sand.
Flanagan said she and a coworker took their kids to the beach on Saturday after attending a local event.
There’s more than one kind of sneaky snakes in Ocean City.
