I've read some iffy things about Hognoses . Whist being one of the CUTEST looking snakes around , aren't they are known to bluff-bite , kinda pretend to - but don't usually bite ??
Trouble is with them is when they bite , they apparently go for it big-time ......and they are rear-fanged and , as such , are mildly venomous which can be an issue for sensitive people like myself .
