So, lets recap.
Hognose snake have a Duvernoy's gland which is a venom producing gland. Fact...

They have a venom which has been studies already by Dr. BGF. The toxins have been identified and documented by the leading researchers in the field. Fact...

Like all venomous colubrids, the western hognose snake has fangs that are used to work the venom they have into the wound they inflict with said fangs. Fact...

Even with all of this factual information, some of you still choose to ignore what is actually documented. So, instead of coming to terms with the fact that Heterodon nasicus is indeed a rear fanged, venomous colubrid, one or two of you choose to make up a new classification and call it "toxic"? WTH??? My mind is seriously blown by the thought process behind it. I really can not figure this out. Oh wait, I have figured it out. It is all about politics. But not government politics. It is your own political agenda. Your agenda is to protect you ability to keep, breed, and sell hognose snakes. So instead of sharing factual information, you downplay the facts to fit what you want with no interest in providing good, solid information.
