"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."

First of all, as I said earlier I'll go along with the accepted label of rear-fanged venomous - you seem to making this whole thread about that one bone of contention,(maybe that's the most convenient way for you to fight against other peoples' points of view, by ignoring anything else they have to say).
But with regards to the original sentiment and concern expressed by several people including myself, you're damned right, I believe we should exercise discretion to protect our ability to keep, breed, and sell hognose snakes.
Every link you brought says that the venom of hognoses is "medically insignificant" and that they make wonderful pets, so I can sleep peacefully with my stance.
