Hognoses, however, can be dangerous due to their saliva depending on how allergic you are to the saliva. From what I have heard, if you are very allergic the bite can be as bad as a Copperhead bite. I have a Hognose, but I'm not concerned about my allergic reaction to the bite even though I doubt I would get bitten. If I did, I would not let the snake chew on me once it has latched on. That is how the saliva is injected into you, so if a Hog does happen to bite you or anyone, get it off as quickly as possible.
