Lol!! I wouldn't use a hognose. lol! I would either use a MEAN non venomous, such as a texas rat snake, a nasty WC water snake, etc... And tell yourself everytime you get bit you could be dead or injured. OR pick a better rear fanged. Hognose is SOO mild. Most people don't even call them rear fanged. OR I would choose something rear fanged that is actually aggressive with a slightly stronger venom such as a Mangrove Snake.
