Dentures needed?

[NitroNostrils]

I noticed this when editing pics.....Izabelle is missing upper teeth!!!!!! and not even a visit from the tooth fairy.....no wonder why shes been so brutal during feeding time..lol

Do thier teeth grow back? I saw on a show on national geo. channel that diamond back rattlers loose there fangs and swallow them.

Yes, they grow back. I read one thread from this guy who would frequently dig through his retic's ...ummm....wastes...to find big ol' retic teeth! They will sometimes get stuck in the prey and swallowed and I assume this is probably true for most snakes, if not all.

Actually, they are there. They are just recessed in the "gums." If you were to push up slightly on the gums, you would get a nice poke from them.

Aside from the whole tooth issue, that is a really neat picture.

[JamminJonah]

Definately agree with Gen - great picture!
