Hog nose snakes used to be fairly common around here. I have seen a few but about the biggest one was only about 2 feet long. Yes they will raise up and flatten their head/neck like a cobra. They will often hiss when they do that. If that fails to make you move they will fall over, roll on their back and play dead. Funny thing though if you flip them over on their stomach they will flip right back over on their back. They are non poisonous and of those I have been close to I could not entice them to strike at all. If your snake is as long as you say it is definately not a hog nose. Around here the hog nose is known as a blowing adder or puffing adder.
