CAUTION: ALL Western Hognose snakes–regardless of color and pattern–are considered mildly venomous. Their venom has never resulted in a human death, and symptoms of being envenomated by a hognose resemble those of allergic reactions to insect stings and plant poisons. If you have severe allergies to insect stings, it’s advised that you never handle a Western Hognose without protective gloves. While extremely rare, most bites to humans result from the confusion of smelling food either on or in the vicinity of the care giver. Children should not handle Western Hognose snakes without parental supervision. I’ve had hognose snakes for over 40 years, and have NEVER seen or heard of anyone being bitten by one from anger or aggression. Open mouth threat displays–and consequent striking–rarely, if ever, result in bites to humans, so virtually all bites are from feeding reactions. Healthy hognose snakes seem to be perpetually hungry, and will react accordingly. Therefore, extreme caution should be employed when first opening their cages.
