difference between eastern and western hognose snake?

What is the difference between an eastern and western hognose? I read one of them has some venom but it is not harmful to humans? We really want a hognose but I do have young kids in the house so if there is any chance of them being dangerous I won't get them. Of course I am careful and enclosures are secure but anything could happen. Currently all of my snakes are safe to have around the kids (ball python, cornsnakes, and kingsnakes).

Thanks for any info you can provide. I've been googleing and getting conflicting information. Also which is the best for handling? I read they are pretty shy and rarely bite. (I have a 2012 florida kingsnake that likes to strike as soon as his container is open, but that's a hatchling for ya)
