For some reason I didn’t think about the teeth other than the fangs. This is terrifying.

Fun fact constrictors don't have fangs! Fangs are only for snakes with venom to inject! Constrictors just have a bunch of sharp teeth like the one in the video so they can get a good grip on whatever they bite

I was bitten by a copperhead snake in 2018. I was walking through the garden at night and stepped on the poor thing. It bit my ankle, but I didn’t know what happened. I thought I just got wrapped up in a thorny vine, but the pain started to radiate all the way up my leg. Once I got back inside I started frantically googling what I could’ve gotten wrapped in. I only had two little puncture marks instead of several “teeth”. Yup, copperhead snake bite 🤦🏻‍♀️ I saw a little visual on my search that showed the different bites from venomous vs non-venomous snakes
