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 :)

What do the eastern hognose snake eat?
Pinkie mice 1-2 times a week, roughly the same width around as the snake. Some are picky, and you may have to try scenting the pinkies with frog/toad. It is best to feed them frozen/thawed pinkies as they are cheaper than live and hognose snakes are poor predators of live mice once they grow up.
