    I'll be interested to see the replies .

    I'd love one myself but being hypersensitive to most things I can't risk getting one .

    They are rear-fanged and mildly venomous but there are so many factors at play .

    How sensitive the individual is , how severe the bite , if the rear fangs get a hold , presumably the size of the Hoggie makes some kind of difference .

    They are easily one of the cutest snakes around but I've seen so many online reports and photos that I'm very wary .
