All snake venom is just highly evolved saliva. All snakes have it. But we have been mistakenly taught over the years that some snakes are poisonous and some are not. A more accurate analogy would be that some snakes are way more poisonous than others,... or some snakes can kill some people, and some can't kill most people. And the rest of that is ,... each persons body will not nessecarily react the same to a bite of any given species. For example...I've heard of people dying from a copperhead bite, but I've known folks who didn't even go to the doctor. The degree of effect depends on many factors! ...But,... I've never known anyone to have been affected in the least by a hognose. In fact I've never heard of one actualy opening it's mouth during a defensive strike. All the ones I've seen have been strictly mouth closed. It's just a bluff like the hissing, hood spread, and playing dead. All the specimens I've ever seen were realy cool snakes.

I have seen open mouthed strikes. and even one that followed someone's hands around with it's mouth open. You can be deadly allergic to hognose venom if your immune system is overactive.
a western hognose is supposed to eat better than a southern, which I have heard will eat only toads and such.

My husband has a Western hognose and she is adorable. The Westerns have 3 defenses that I know of, and one of them is that they will roll over and play dead. It's to cute.
