no teeth?

I saw an episode of crocodile hunter today and steve said that all colubrids are non-venomous and have no fangs to bite with. Then Teri said later when she found another snake "This snake is non-venomous but like all snakes they have teeth and can bite." Can someone please clarify this for me? Thanks! :)

ALL snakes do have teeth, but ONLY VENOMOUS snakes have fangs.

You are correct :rockon:

basically all snakes have teeth(Most of them) however only venomous have large fangs or teth that cn inject venom.

Here's a nice little article on snake info. Check under "Skeleton and Teeth" to read how snakes have three types of dentition.
