Do ball pythons have teeth? I am curious because I've seen many snakes out there that have teeth.

Yes, ball pythons have teeth. They are used for striking its prey. I wouldn't want to be bit by one that's for sure.

Ball pythons do have teeth, they are used for hunting purposes. The bite doesn't hurt as bad as you would think. I'd still be careful though.

Yea, ball pythons do have teeth, literally like most every other snake out there. The risk of them biting you isn't that big tbh...

Yes, ball pythons in fact have teeth. They use their teeth to capture prey and eat them. The bite isn't too bad, I suggest reading about them on their Wikipedia page to discover more about them and their natural inclinations. They are pretty good at handling and come in all sorts of cool morphs.

Here's a video of a ball python's teeth, here it shows the inside of their mouth it's pretty interesting.
