I read that ball pythons have rows of teeth and two fanglike teeth (if you bleed from a snake bite...these are the teeth that do it...the rest leave like a circle around them).
The picture listed isnt a ball python, but from what I read pythons all have the same style of teeth...not to mention they have the most teeth out of all snakes. http://whiteafrican.com/wp-content/snake2.jpg
after my snake bit me...I looked at the mark it left and was kinda of interested at the mouth structure...so yea that is why I know this...but I only know what was read.
hope it helps.

Re: BP's teeth
the teeth are see though ish so you can't really get a pic. they are also extremly small compared to what some snakes and spiders have. but dont be happy these teeth come in a think there is 133 in total. bits are not normaly bad becasue they head slap but if its a feeding bite *keepers fualt 99%' then they have the possiblity of hurting alot. i dont think u can x-ray snakes :P dunno.

No fangs, though the teeth toward the front of the mouth are slightly larger. Boids do have maxillary teeth, as well as two rows of palatine teeth on the roof of the mouth.

when floyd bit me, there were no fang marks. just a complete circle of even size marks.
