Yes, it is illegal to ship western hognose snakes to California. The state has strict regulations regarding the importation of certain reptiles, including western hognose snakes, due to concerns about potential ecological impacts and the protection of local wildlife. Always check the most current regulations before attempting to transport any species into California.
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 :)
