The only plant that comes to mind is Adenium obesum, sold in the USA as 'desert rose.' If memory serves, the plant secretes mildly poisonous substances from the bark.

Other than that, a hognose shouldn't run into many plant-based issues.

You do need to be more careful with insect eating snakes. The insects can feed on toxic plants and transfer the toxins to snakes in their gut.
