Actually man...constrictors do have fangs, they just dont deliver the neurotoxins like venomous snakes do.

Thats an african rock python, very famous african constrictor.
I dont mean to be demeaning or anything, I LOVE snakes. Just wanted to point that out ^^

Dueling snake fans, go!
Actually, calling large, pointed teeth "fangs" is generally only appropriate with mammalia. When referring to snakes, specifically, a fang refers to a hollow, venom injecting tooth connected to a poison sac.

All snakes do have backwards pointing teeth, and some of these vary in size, differing in proportion from species to species, but not all large, pointed teeth on snakes qualify for the "fang" category.
What prompted my original comment is that a lot of the time, when people unfamiliar with a snake mouth interior draw a snake, they draw fangs (either just two top, or two top and two bottom) and nothing else. Not to pick on Tan, because he's a great artist, compare his snake mouth to yours. And he isn't the only one, either. Typically, this error is made when making a vore picture, too, so it could just be some fantasy detail about not getting bit by a ton of teeth, or maybe I'm looking at things too deeply, but now I'm digressing.
