Jazz, My aunt who taught biology for 40 years used to say that even non-poisonopus snakes didn't brush their teeth. With the hog-nose their is more to it than a dirty mouth as they do have actual venom. Some sources say not but INFORMED sources say yes. A herpetologist buddy of a PhD biologist friend of mine was "playing" with a hog-nose and got envenomated.

The hog-nose is so "INTO" its role that when it rolls over belly up and plays dead if you pick it up and put it down right side up it rolls back over upside down, overacting a bit.
