Question: are eastern hognose snakes poisonous?
Answer: The Eastern Hog-nosed Snake is a non-venomous, thick-bodied snake that can grow up to one metre long. ... When this harmless snake feels threatened by predators or humans, it coils up, flattens its head and neck to form a cobra-like hood, inflates its body, hisses loudly and strikes, but always with a closed mouth.
