LOL, I love the hiss. Mine is getting pretty good about being handled but still hisses and even on occasion will flatten out and rattle his tail. He is fine once you get him out, though I won't let the kids handle him yet as he is much more flighty than the balls they are used to.
Who did you end up getting your hognose from?
I got him from a guy at the All-Cleveland Reptile Show & Sale you PMed me about. I am starting to believe Charon wasn't being handled enough...
