Do White's have teeth??

[spooky]

When administering meds to Toad, I'm pretty sure I can feel teeth. Not something I'd ever really given thought to before. Have been bitten (accidently whilst hand-feeding a meal worm) but it felt more like a bird's peck than a proper bite.

That's an interesting question. I know that I always hear that pacmans do (or maybe I've only heard they have a nasty bite and I assume?), but I guess I had assumed that White's didn't. I know with lizards, I can most definitely spot the teeth on a small chinese water dragon, but not in leopard geckos. I got bit by a day gecko once, and he ripped right into my finger, so I assume he does. But being bitten by an anole, I feel nothing but a grip.

So I guess my point is...I always assumed if I didn't see them and they bit me but couldn't even break the skin, they didn't have them.

But not you have peaked my interest!

They have areas inside the mouth that are designed to hold prey/hold it inside. They're not teeth like you and I have though.

Ahhh, ok Yeah, I assumed that they had 'something' but wasn't sure if they were teeth as we know them
More for gripping than biting/chewing then?

(Of course, durrr! They don't bite or chew, just lunge and grab! Sorry, t'is too late in the evening for me!)
