you know, now that i think of it.... im being kinda silly. ( actually entirely stupid) Ive been bitten by snakes before, and have noticed the double rows of teeth. I just got... excited, seeing it on the scans. Since i dont really open the snakes mouths all that much. * only on occasion to take debris out, if they got some bedding on their food* *headdesk* Totally forgetting being bitten, and what the heck a bite looks like.
Wow i feel silly....
