Here is a post from Lindsey Pike in the Daytona discussion below.

Link did not work, so I was unable to provide it for you.

Hognose are not listed, in name or family (nor do the pose a serious threat to human health)...what is your interpretation of the above statement?

Sounds to me, they would be allowed.

BTW, keep in mind that Florida is spear-heading the fight to take away a lot of our reptile rights. IMO, if you go to Daytona you support THEM :O)

See you guys in Anaheim!

I have never made it to Daytona, but I am pretty sure hognose are available there. Technically speaking, bearded dragons, monitor lizards, garter snakes, etc.... are all venomous.
