Are hognose snakes vicious?
A wild Hognose snake's, although rear fang venomous (non-lethal), first reaction to a threat is to roll over extrude a foul smelling liquid from its cloaca and play dead, not to attack. In captivity, Hognose snakes are very well tempered snakes. I have had a hognose as a pet for three years now, and not once have I ever been bitten by it. Keep in mind, another response to something like a hand or predator touching the top of the snake, the hognose may start hissing but is not ill tempered. Hope this helps :)
