This description answers my last question. I'd rather encounter any rattler or copperhead vs this blood vomitting/hissing oddly shaped head serpent! -

Re: 2 Hognose
That all depends. Although I would say the chances of getting bit by one is VERY rare and the chance that the venom would cause you problems is very low. This is a paper a freind of mine did. Worth reading...
