Good points Julius and J !
As for the Hognoses..They do have rear fangs and venom to a degree...BUT I actually have not heard of anyone getting bit by one , least of all a traumatic experience with a bite. My kids, including my 4 year old handle Hognose snakes all the time [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] They have been taught how to properly handle them and know the difference in relation to them as something such as a boa or ball python even. Hognoses are quite "tame" when it comes to handling. The only time I have ever had a problem is when me and another person were working with one to probe it for sexing[ not i the other guy was, i was just holding it] and I had the dang thing turn around and try to strike at me [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] Needless to say, I no longer wanted to know it's sex ..lmao.
