Hognose Snakes!

i think it is pretty cool that Hognose Snakes are venomous... it is awseome that you can actually have them as pets because they are backfanged and there venom is not very strong at all.

venomous is still up for debate.

lolol
might include vine snakes in there too.
lolol
I still wonder what the effect of a bite with injection of a hognose and vine would do.

A vine if latched on for a long period will actually hurt like hell and cause swelling and numbness for several days. its not fun

not to mention possible head ache nausea and stomach cramps. vine snakes are defenetly venomous. and i hate the term back fanged. it should be called near front fang or somthing. or center fang

oh really? i didn't know that were not definitley venomous.

there is another thread on this where most of us put in the current theories on hogs 'venom' production

I have heard of reactions similar to what vine snakes can cause in eastern hognose bites, but only in individuals that are allergic to a hoggies venom/toxin or whatever they produce lol.
