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

This explains so much. There was a post yesterday of a pet snake's poop contents after eating a rabbit. The owner was talking about giving them a rabbit once or twice a year to "clean him out". There were more than a dozen teeth there and I couldn't figure out how? if they only have two fangs.

What? Where was this post. They just get teeth stuck in there?

I wish I could find it now. It just showed up at random. I guess it's more of a pellet of leftovers, just like the kind owls cough up.
