Will they lose teeth even we don't move after their bite? Will snakes also lose teeth when they eating? Wow is there anything like anticoagulation will be sent when they bite which causing more bleeding? Wow plenty of ! you must have so many snakes! May I know which kinds of your snakes are responsible for most of the bites lol?
    Prognathodon gave good information.

    A 1-year old boa probably has teeth about as thick as the period in a newspaper article and ~1/16 inch long. The less stress on a tooth, the less likely it will be lost. Yes, snakes also lose teeth when they eating. A buddy of mine collected the poop from a gaboon viper, soaked it in water and broke it into fragments. By the end of a year he had a nice collection of fangs and teeth.

    Bullsnakes have given me the largest number of bites (mostly feeding bites) because I've kept more bullsnakes than any other species. They are great animals! But a nervous 7-foot boa constrictor gave me my single worst bite.
