I actually own one myself and found out through a herpitologist friend of mine that these snakes actually do have venom glands in fangs, but the location of these fangs are so far back in the mouth of the snake that it would be damn near impossible for a human to be envenomated by them, making them available for commercial sale to the public. Just a note for you if you ever wonder, if they can be purchased at a reptile show without the need for the venomous license, then they are non lethal to humans. ie: scorpions, tarantulas and the hognose... they are all venomous, but not in a lethal way....
Truthfully, I own a bunch of snakes and would welcome the bite of my Hognose over the bite of my Burmese Python!!!
The hognose is by far the most docile of my snakes and the better feeder of all of them as well.
Typically though, hog noses have to go through scented feedings before accepting mice plain.

∙ 12y agoYes! Hognose Snakes are very tame. Although they do have a mild venom, it's not life-threatening if you did happen to get bit. But it is very hard to get bit by a Hognose Snake because of how tame they are and they usually don't even bite in defense. The only time you really have a possibility of getting bit is when you feed it. Hognose Snakes are often recommended as beginner snakes. So Yes they make great pets!

∙ 8y agoHog-nosed snakes are neither poisonous nor are they venomous. They are totally harmless and very reluctant to bite. Instead, they roll over and play dead. Some sources say that the saliva is mildly venomous to sedate the small prey animals it feeds upon but of little concern to humans.

∙ 12y agoNot entirely, they are not venomous. They kill their prey by constriction, so as long as your not a fury rodent you should be good. **They CAN bite.**
