my 5 yr old found this in my yard, snake fang?

[patrick28]

Looking like a snake fang, my kid found it near his playground equipment, also if its say from a poisonous snake would it be able to still contain venom in it?
Its about 2 & 1/4" long about the thickness of a pencil down to a point on the other end.
Its definitely a tooth, and it seems to have a little dried blood on the flat end of the tooth.
Anyone know what it is?

No prompt to post a photo here?

You need a hosting service like photobucket to post pictures.

There we go

Thinking that would have come from a snake but I always thought the fangs were curved inward.
The area where it was found has tall grass and an old composting heap underneath. No dead animal near the site

No clue. But if that's a snake fang...I'd be moving from that area.

Ha! Not sure what it is but it would be one heck of a snake.

Not a snake fang. You were right, they all curve to the rear.

Possum toenail?

Well I seen some snakes can have straight'er looking fangs also it seems to have that shape to a fang where it has the flattened part where the venom would come out.
Think is way too huge to be a toenail haha

It's razor sharp at the end makes me have to double check where I walk

No, no, that goes around your neck silly! Crosses for the door!

Way to thick for a snake fang, but could be a tooth of an animal, might be a possum.

magnifying glass if hollow at the small end think i would be moving. looks too big to be snake though. people do import some very unsafe animals to the country.

Definitely not a snake.
The only snake with a 2" fang is the Gaboon Viper & if you've got one of those rascals....you're in Africa.

I honestly couldn't tell you what it might be, but it certainly isn't anything to do with a snake.

Chupacabra baby tooth.

Could it be a tooth from Bigfoot?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nah, I'm going with a toenail. How about a Hawk or Eagle talon?
