Giant Python Teeth

Hey people, found a cool pic on the itnternet and had a question for all those that know large Boidae...

Are the double rows of teeth common in the upper jaws of large pythons?

Re: Giant Python Teeth

From what I understand, It was able to crawl underneath the electric fence, ate a large prey item and then couldn't get back out...

Re: Giant Python Teeth

Pretty much all snakes have the double rows of teeth like that. Any Colubrid or Boid species I have ever worked with ever anyway. Mark

Re: Giant Python Teeth

As for that picture it has been around for years now & yes large Boids have large teeth & thats WHY you don't want to get tagged by a snake thats between 10-20 ft long Mark
