[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 126114, member: 3458"] Hognoses are adorable snakes but bear in mind that they are rear fanged and slightly venomous. Normally a bite will be harmless but if you should get a wet bite it could cause swelling to your hand and arm and it could cause a reaction that can lead to worse problems. Having said that as long as you are forewarned they make great pets, I used to breed them. At feeding time use tongs to offer food as they love their food although they can fast for long periods around breeding time. When threatened as hatchlings they will huff at you, if that doesn't scare you off they will roll over and play dead giving off a slight smell of rotting meat [ATTACH=full]28056[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
