    Sometimes when you pick up baby snakes they get scared and bite you, but since they are tiny and don’t have any teeth yet it does zero damage and is just adorable

      They are actually born with a tooth called the egg tooth!

      And once their venom fangs grow in, they often have a more dangerous bite than adult because they don’t yet know how to control dosage.

    That snek face kills me every time, love it. Tho humans have a habit of assuming facial expressions on other animals convey similar emotions (they do sometimes, mostly for mammals), poor animal is probably going through fight/flight while you’re being all cute with it lol. Upside, this snek baby has limited memory and probably forgot about this.
