I know the difference lol. Funny, the lady I know has many snakes that no longer have their fangs (I've seen up close) and they all eat fine. She did point out one snake, another cobra who's one fang was starting to grow back. Actually, it had two in the same spot. Very strange. Do you know how common this is?

Either way, I feel worse for the snake.
