Best Answer

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.

ALL snakes have teeth... Most are small (up to 5 mm) in length - however - some snakes have a pair of very large fangs for injecting venom into their prey.
