Some species of garters have nominally enlarged rear fangs. That does not make them opistoglyphs like hydrodynastes, rhamphiophis, boiga, etc.

An opistoglyph not only has enlarged rear fangs, but delivers venom via a grooved channel in them. It is an evolutionary delivery step above having rear fangs and no channel.

The word glyph means carved or grooved channel............an aglyph lacks that channel.

So while a boiga, for example, has grooves in those enlarged rear teeth to make the venom delivery more effective, thamnophis does not.
