Is a hognose snake venomous?

To answer your question, they are rear-fanged, comparable to the southern African boomslang and are technically venomous, but the venom they excrete is not considered to be dangerous to humans and they will never bite in defense (as the only way to get bitten by a hognose snake is to smell like their prey). There has been some debate whether or not hognose are venomous, but there is evidence that their saliva has some toxicity to smaller prey items, such as toads and frogs. The fangs have been referred to as just "enlarged teeth", but they are genuine fangs that are used for venom delivery and also prey restraint. Despite the common belief, there is no evidence to support the fangs being used for "toad popping". Under this belief, the toads inflate their lungs to make swallowing difficult, but the fangs would penetrate the lungs and deflate them. However, whole toads with intact lungs are commonly regurgitated by recently captured hognoses.

Do snakes kill humans if they see them?

No. Snakes are generally reclusive animals. If they see a human coming, their first instinct will be to hide or flee. It is only if they feel that they are threatened and cannot escape that they will bite. Even then, most snakes are either nonvemous or do not have venom potent enough to kill a human.

There is one exception to this, though it very rarely happens. The very largest snakes are large enough to view humans as prey. In a handful of cases such snakes have eaten people or attmpted to eat them. Credible (though not necessarily confirmed) accounts of this have happened with four species: the green anaconda, the reticulated python, the Burmese python, and the African rock python.
