This time of year I would suggest just letting it go. Eastern hognose snakes pretty much just eat toads. Makes them kind of a pain to keep in captivity and you need to either ;Thank you gentlemen. Not one I’ve had any experience with. I’ll let the wife know what she captured.
She wants to capture a frog next so the kids can see nature at work. In the name of science she says. We do homeschool and she tries to make everything hands on as much as possible in addition to their courseware.
3) get a captive bred rodent eating snake and keep frozen rodents ( thaw before feeding)
We’ll let it go soon. If she finds a frog tonight or tomorrow she’ll try to feed it. She just wants the kids to watch it happen.This time of year I would suggest just letting it go.

I was kidding about secreting a neurotoxin, BTW. Should have been more over the top.
