Evaluate the drafted changes
Overall, you did a fantastic job!

Lead: I like how you added to the lead after you added information to the article, but it is still concise and gives readers a summary of the article. You could consider adding that humans are threatening the survival of the eastern hog-nosed snake since you wrote a good amount about it, and it is important for readers to know.

Content: The content that you added is definitely relevant, and it doesn't seem like anything is missing. A couple of your references are a little bit old (2003 and 2005), but if those are the best sources and there are not any newer sources that contradict their information, I think that it is okay.

Tone and Balance: I didn't notice any controversial topics in your article; it sounded neutral and very scientific.

Sources and References: In some places it looks like you don't have citations for all of your content because you wrote a few sentences and then cited a source at the end. I am sure that you got your information from your sources, but you could make that more clear by saying according to [this source] and then writing about it. An example of this would be in your Captivity paragraph. You could add "According to Healey (2020)," to the beginning. The Description and Etymology section does not have any citations. I know a previous author wrote most of it, but you could look for sources to back up some of that information. I thought that you had a good range of sources, but you could always add more if you's like. I found one from the Biological Science Collection database called "Habitat Associations of the Eastern Hognose Snake at the Northern Edge of its Geographic Distribution: Should a Remnant Population Guide Restoration?"

Organization: Your article is pretty much well written and definitely very well organized. I noticed just a few sentences that you could change:

"Their habitats also include both southeastern and midwestern woodlands and tall-grassland prairies. They have often been found in grassy fields or cultivated fields along woodland edges." could be written as "Their habitats include southeastern and midwestern woodlands, tall-grassland prairies, and grassy or cultivated fields along woodland edges."

"Because there is such a wide range the snake is found" just needs a "where" after "range" and a comma at the end.

"In northern climates hibernation comes earlier and begins late September-October whereas in southern climates the snake might not retreat until November." needs commas after both "climates" and "in" before "late".

"Humans cause pollution..." You could say something like "Humans affect these snakes by..." or "Humans affect these snakes in the following ways:..". "Cause" just sounds a little strange when you have "intentional hunting" in the list.

"Laura E. Robson and Gabriel Blouin-Demers..." I am not sure if you need a date here or not.

"H. platirhinos is a very mildly venomous species that's effects aren't deadly." Could be "The venom of H. platirhinos is very mild, and its effects are not deadly."

"The hognose snake is an intermediate level reptile to keep and live between 10-15 years in captivity." Could be "Hognose snakes are intermediate level reptiles to keep and live between 10-15 years in captivity." or "The hognose snake is an intermediate level reptile to keep and lives between 10-15 years in captivity."

"With hognose being a toad specialist species..." and "Being a solitary species..." just need commas after "species".

I know it looks like a lot of changes, but they are all very slight changes. Let me know if you have any questions about my suggestions. Overall, your article was well-written :)

Images and Media: I love your plan to add in images.

Overall: You have done a lot to improve this article so far. You added a lot of good information and kept the article neutral. There are just a few sentences that you could re-word, but I don't have any major edits that I think you should make.

Great job and good luck!
