When I first started looking at which snake I wanted to get, I was very interested in Hognoses. however, when I asked my local shop about them, I was told they are illegal in Illinois. I assumed it is because they are rear-fanged, but I can't find anything that lists them as illegal, or the reason, only what the Illinois Dangerous Animals Act says, which lists only "any poisonous or life‑threatening reptile." (A possible court defense? The word "poisonous" when applied to snakes has been discussed in other threads, I believe.) Anyways, are they really illegal? And why?
