    Well all the above post's just floored me.....Obviously the Hog Nose here is Illinois are much different. They only eat toad's hear, and have NEVER been bitten by one. Have had probably 30 of these little boogers since living in Illinois and have yet to even heard of anyone even being bitten by one. Or one's that eat something other than toad's. Wizill, you sure they bit? Or just striked with a bump?

    ok Just talked to a friend that has been messing around with the hog nose for ove 30 year's. He said that, yes he has heard of them eating mice, though he has never seen it, mainly due to the over abundance of toad's in this area and that they are free. (So I stand corrected on the comment that they only eat toad's) But he was also floored about the comment of them biting. He also has never been bitten by a hog nose or heard of anyone that had, until i told him of Wizill. He said that maybe you just had a psycho snake.

    I had an eastern hognose, it was wild caught. If it wasn't playing dead it was striking at me. Felt just like a kingsnake or cornsnake bite.

    Currently Keeping - 4 ball pythons, a redtail boa, and a cali king. Now look, admit it. You know you want to give me an albino ball python.

    I do hope you are joking, thus the . Rear fanged or not, venomous is a bad first snake choice!
    IMO, a cornsnake or kingsnake is a good choice for a younger first time keeper. Easy care requirements, no feeding issues, etc. For a more mature person, who can handle the mental stress of fasting and other frusterating BP habits, BP's are great.

    Rosy Boas are reputed to be good "beginner" snakes, though they're a bit harder to find captive bred specimens of.
