I need snake information please.?

Question

I have a milk snake and she always strikes at me when ever I take her out or feed her. But when she bites I can't see her fangs and I haven't seen any puncture wounds on her food. So I was wondering if she has fangs or not I wanna know before she bites me.

Answer 1

Milk snakes don't have fangs, only pythons, boas, vipers, etc.

But milk snakes does have teeth though. But they have grinding teeth so it isn't like fangs. Their teeth is use for grinding the prey, unlike the python whose teeth is use to grab a hold of their prey. Their bites won't hurt at all because the teeth are like triangles(fangs curves in so the snake on hold their prey)

But remember that snakes don't clean their own teeth so remember to just wash your hand or where ever the snake bite you at with soap. And if you want....you can put a bandage on it...lol(I do all the time...hehe)

I've been bitten by at least each of my snake(python, boa, corn+king) Truthfully, the corn and the king snake doesn't hurt at all. And the ball python+red tail boa's bite hurt that second but then like 1-2 mins later it stop...I don't even remember the bite...lol =]

Hope this could help!

Answer 2

Answer 3

Dear Suzi (cute name!)

A milk snake won't have "fangs" because fangs are only used to deliver venom, or poison, from dangerous snakes.

A milk snake has tiny teeth and a bite would show up as a semicircle, like this " ) ".  The only concern would be infection, so if your snake bites you, even if it doesn't draw blood, clean it with soap and water.  (The bite area, not the snake!)

Snakes don't brush or floss their teeth, so they can get an unhealthy dose of bacteria in their mouth.

Have fun with your milk snake.  Be very gentle when picking it up and handling it.  Perhaps it will acclimate to this and stop being so aggressive.

Answer 4

Only venomous snakes have fangs. Milksnakes do not have them, nor do pythons and boas. Pythons and boas have about 100 teeth, 4 rows on the top and two on the bottom.
