Viper Boas or Candoia rear fanged????

ZPD Jun 03, 2005 12:47 PM

Someone told me today that they were not allergic to their viper boas bites...I said of course not why would you be. The guy told me that all the candoia are rear fanged? What? I have never heard that before, it's not true, right? Im a humble herper that is always learning new things so I didn't argue, instead I thought I would come here and ask...Just incase i am wrong. I thought boas were all constrictors and they would not have use for rear fangs.
