Do Boa Constrictors Have Fangs?

No, boa constrictors do not have fangs. Instead of fangs, they possess small, conical teeth that are used to grip their prey.

Boa constrictors are non-venomous snakes, and they kill their prey by constriction. When they catch their food, they wrap their powerful bodies around it and squeeze until the prey suffocates. The lack of fangs means that they do not inject venom like some other snakes do. Instead, their teeth help them hold onto their catch as they constrict.

In summary, while many snakes have specialized fangs for venom delivery, boa constrictors rely on their strength and grip to hunt and consume their prey.
