She can inject vemon and eat just fine......LOL..... She is just alittle toothy today....LOL
The last time I saw that in a snake's mouth while it was eating I very gently grasped the extra fang with tweezers out of curiosity. It was not attached, only stuck inside the fang sheath. This is not a necessary operation as the fangs will simply be shed and swallowed and passed through the digestive tract. But if you want some fangs for display purposes that you don't have to bleach out of fecal matter, that's a perfectly good way to get them if it doesn't freak out the snake too badly.

Yeah, I have done that with longer hemos but these were not loose...... Or they did not look loose anyway....... When they are loose they usually move to the side....... You know what I am talkin about...... They were all going straight into the rat......
