Yes, their venom is also quite potent for a non-DWA.

Yes indeed, but I don't have the same anatomical part to make a comparison.

Also, hognoses and false water cobras don't LOOK like venomous, they ARE venomous.... although a western hognose is a pretty good rattlesnake-mimic.

If we're talking lookalikes, an adult Russian Ratsnake is about the same colours as a mangrove.
