This is my Albino Hognose named Sunny. She is very pretty
. Even though she may be small she is the only snake that I have to use the snake hook on because she may bite me. Aside from cage aggressiveness she is very sweet when being handled.
Did you know that Hognose snakes are rear venomous snakes? That means that their back fangs have venom in them. My mom found that out the hard way…
Not exactly. Their fangs don’t have anything in them but fang; they’re not tubular/hollow. They’re also not nearly universally accepted to feature functional surface grooves. They don’t have a venom gland, and their Duvernoy’s gland duct isn’t near the fangs.
None of that is to say that getting bitten is good, though. 
Some good reading on this and other species in:
Weinstein, Scott & Warrell, David & Keyler, Daniel. (2023). Venomous Bites From Non-Venomous Snakes, 2nd ed.
Oops then my mama wrong 
People can definitely have some negative local (and extremely rarely, systemic) effects from a bite, for sure. Just the fangs part wasn’t exactly accurate. 
That’s interesting John! A good friend of mine has a daughter 13 or so and her hog bit her between her thumb and index finger. Her hand swelled up immediately almost cutting off circulation to her arm so they rushed Riley I believe.
I don’t remember what he said they gave her but the swelling finally went down. It was awful. Now the girl is under strict supervision when she handles her hog. I have always heard that hogs are mildly venomous so this is a new one on me!
Never mind my previous post! We were typing at the same time! There is a lot of incorrect information out there then.
She’s beautiful!
I can relate to the smallest snake being the most bitey. I have a Kenyan sand boa, a blood python, and a BI, and it’s the sand boa who is the most likely to bite me (which is actually kinda nice, because she can do the least damage). Though I still use a hook with my bigger girls, because they both have a strong feeding response. But once they know they’re not getting fed, the blood and BI are both lovely to handle.
Sorry to ask but Iv been hearing the term BI a lot but I have no idea what it means? Mind telling me?
BI stands for Boa imperator, which is the scientific name for the common boa. Used to be called Boa constrictor imperator, until Boa imperator and Boa constrictor were determined to actually be separate species rather than subspecies.
