I am fairly new to the snake world, and after seeing the hognose snake in person, I wanted to get one. I have talked to other people and they say the venom may cause an allergic reaction. I was wondering how often this may occour (2 in a million or if anyone knows statistics). Also, if you have been bitten, do the rear fangs sink into you? Some people tell me to get a Corn or King, but I don't like their size or looks. Please help me out!!

P.S.- if you know any sites or people that have baby Western hogs for sale, please let me know.... Kwikslvr22@hotmail.com thanks.
