Solution

Poison fangs:

  1. Venomous snakes have modified rear and front fangs from a distinct set of teeth, according to research (developing tissue in the rear of the mouth).
  2. Snake fangs are big teeth on the front of their upper jaw that are primarily sharp.
  3. They have their venom glands enclosed.
  4. Because venomous snakes are the only ones having fangs, non-venomous snakes such as pythons are simply equipped with simple rows of teeth.
  5. Fangs are found behind the mouth of known venomous snakes, such as grass snakes.

Final answer: In snakes, poison fangs are modified teeth.
