Hahahahahaha! They'll poop the teeth out?! That's so interesting! I guess that's where my gaboon viper teeth I bought from a reptile expo came from...."a nice collection of fangs and teeth..." Looks like their teeth grows like human's hair.......Oh not sure whether my Suriname may grow to that size...he's a male though... May I know why the bite is the worst? Is it because the boa has more teeth or he/she just bite with all his/her power?

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.
