so the snake can
A. scare away predators
B. its better for killing there pray
and C. a snake would look weird with a round or square one
The above answer is complete and utter rubbish ! A snakes tongue is forked, because it has evolved as a 'direction finding' sense. When a snake flicks out its tongue, microscopic scent particles stick to it. The tongue is withdrawn into the mouth, and inserted into the Jacobson's Organ - an area of sensitive nerve cells. This is so sensitive - it can detect the microscopic variations from one half of the forked tongue to the other !
As for the tongue being '...better for killing 'there' prey...' The tongue of a snake is not venomous and plays nopart in the killing of its prey ! Nor does it 'scare away predators' ! - Snakester1962 (Supervisor)
Because they're designed to hold on to their prey - preventing it's escape.
They curve backwards - to assist the snake in grabbing its prey - and to help in the swallowing process.

While a snake's forked tongue looks dangerous, it really is not. Snakes actually smell with their tongues. If snakes bite, they use their teeth
All snakes that do not use venom to kill prey do not have fangs. In other words all nonvenomous snakes lack fangs, but have smaller teeth used for holding on to prey. This is not to say that all venomous snakes have fangs either. Some species such as the coral snake, found in the eastern united states has extremely toxic venom, but lacks fangs.

On some yaw bearings the teeth point outwards, while on others they are turned inwards.

Snakes have fangs.
Snakes do have teeth, but they are very small. The teeth of a snake are not made for chewing but for keeping a grip on prey. The fangs of venomous snakes are also modified teeth.
The spino had a crocodilian head. It was filled with inward-pointing canine teeth. The inward design was meant for keeping the prey from escaping its mouth.

Most snakes have a double row of teeth on the upper jaw. Venomous snakes have hollow or grooved teeth to inject venom.
Yes, the teeth are called fangs.
Snakes do not chew their prey, they swallow them whole. Snakes have curved teeth along the whole length of the mouth to hold prey and keep it from escaping. Some snakes have hollow or grooved teeth for injecting venom.
