Mouse the albino Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake yawning after eating a rat. If you look carefully you’ll see a shed fang hanging from his right side. Venomous snakes are constantly shedding their fangs. There are 2-3 replacement fangs behind the main one. When that one falls out, the next fang in line will take its place. Sometimes the shed fangs will fall out of the snakes mouth, but more commonly, they are swallowed. This does not hurt the snake, and fang will come out the other end 💩. #ratt
