aww, poor snake.
His teeth look pretty proportionate. Snakes use their needle-like teeth to "walk" prey items down their throats. They use them solely for making sure they've got a firm grip on their prey. Notice how they're angled towards the back of the mouth?
You wanna see some really big snake teeth though? These ones are definitely fangs!
Those are the fangs of a gaboon viper. Their fangs can be 2" long. Needless to say, their fangs are the longest of any venomous snake.
