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
the poison tooth of a snake is called a thrike.
If a venomous snake bites its own tongue nothing would happen. Venomous animals are immune to their own venom. If two rattlesnakes of the same species fight, neither will be harmed by the venom they inject.
no you dont beacause blue tongue lizards cant bite hard
It helps because their teeth bite hard and canines have powerful teeth that bite hard.
so the snake canA. scare away predatorsB. its better for killing there prayand C. a snake would look weird with a round or square oneThe 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 The tongue is withdrawn into the mouth, and inserted into the Jacobson's Organ - an area of sensitive nerve cells.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)
snakes use their teeth to catch their pray then suffocate them with the tongue
You grad plyers and yank it out!
the reason for the snake to have teeth in the front is for venemous purposes because if the snake had teeth on the sides it would be harder to bite but because they are in the front they just have to pretty much open they're mouth and bite so its easier
No, though sometimes teeth may be left behind accidentally if the snake bites in self defense.
yes giraffes have top teeth and they sometimes bite their tongue because its so long

Echidnas do not bite, as they do not have teeth. An echidna has a long, sticky tongue which it uses to catch termites and ants.
It takes the enamel of your teeth. You can break teeth if you bite it. There are a ton of others.
"BITE YOUR TONGUE" means not to be rude or make a bad comment. To make a sarcastic comment is one that is "TONGUE IN CHEEK".
You don't... The teeth get in the way... If your going to kiss someone with buck teeth my recommendation is to not french kiss he might accidentally bite down on you tongue...
if your tongue is between your front teeth when you suck it, you get an open bite. your front teeth can also stick out. i suck my tongue too but instead of it between my teeth, i fold my tongue in half and then suck it. that caused me to have an overbite because somehow in folding my tongue and sucking it, it caused my lower jaw to go in hence my overbite.
I recommend the Corn Snake. Corn Snakes are good for first time snake owners because they are relatively small and rarely bite. They don't even have teeth!
