Is my ball python missing teeth?

I have a baby ball python and he opened his mouth. I think he was yawning but I only saw 2 teeth. They were easily noticed. I could not see his other teeth. Do ball pythons have teeth as a baby? And is he missing teeth?

The best way I can explain it is that python teeth are hidden in their gums and they extend out. When your snake yawned it probably didn't show all of its teeth. Baby pythons come out of the egg ready to hunt down prey, so i'm sure all of the teeth are there. No worries!

Yeah he should be just fine.

If you start noticing he can't kill/eat prey it may be a problem, but it sounds normal right now
