The prey animals with thicker skin had a better chance of survival, so thicker skin became prevalent. The thin-skinned prey may well have become extinct because of snake predation.

Similarly, the snakes with stronger fangs had a larger food supply (thin-skinned AND thick-skinned), which increased their chances of survival.
.... and then, children, something truly wonderful happened ... the Tooth Fairy came along, waved her magic wand and ... poof! ... all of a sudden the snake had hollow fangs!
You really shouldn't be laughing at ideas that are easy to explain.
You haven't explained anything ... all you and xongsmith have done is make up fanciful stories plucked out of thin air. None of your fairy tales can be tested and are therefore worthless as science.
But such is the wont of Darwinists ... they don't know what happened, so they invent imaginative bed-time stories and then delude themselves that their fables have got something to do with reality.

No, you weren't right ... you just happened to dream up a fairy tale bearing a slight resemblance to the fairy tale dreamed up in the article provided by Tangle.
To wit:
Snakes evolved venom fangs multiple times from wrinkles in their teeth | New Scientist
And unlike said article, you made no attempt to explain the evolution of hollow fangs ... you simply attempted to explain stronger fangs.
Incidentally, it never ceases to amaze me how credulous Darwinists are. Take said article, for example: Some space-cadet Darwinist scientists at a university concoct a weak, simplistic, far-fetched, untestable story about how hollow snake fangs might have evolved, and suddenly it's accepted as an established scientific fact by those gullible little children out there in Darwin World ... like you and Tangle.

you forgot this from Message 820:
"start with a little groove on the inside of a tooth, then some are born with deeper grooves that are favored in that current environment. they survive at a more frequent rate and eventually are the major variant. then the deeper groove begins to fold together "
dream up a fairy tale bearing a slight resemblance to the fairy tale dreamed up in the article provided
hey fuck you. you have the fairy tale, not science - don't try to drag the whole science expert work down by bringing it to your level!!

In your Darwinist fantasy-world, what makes the deeper groove begin to "fold together"?

Well, you are, and we won't forget - especially since you insist on flaunting it in every post. You'll look a lot less stupid if you ask questions and try to understand the answers.

Dredgings: google confirms my guess
In your xxxxxxxxxxxxSCIENTIFIC-world, what makes the deeper groove begin to "fold together"?
Billions of random imperfect copies of the DNA that lead to variation and then, more often, the flatter toothed individuals die before they can reproduce.

It never ceases to amaze me how credulous Darwinists are. Take the article you've offered here, for example: Some space-cadet Darwinist scientists at a university concoct a weak, simplistic, far-fetched, untestable story about how hollow snake fangs might have evolved, and suddenly it's accepted as an established scientific fact by all those gullible little children out there in Darwin World. Embarrassing.

1. Why would the "flatter toothed individuals die before they can reproduce"?
2. Even if a snake somehow evolved hollow fangs, how would hollow fangs per se confer a survival advantage?
Are you familiar with the concept of Irreducible Complexity? Hollow fangs would not confer a survival advantage unless they were connected to the snakes venom glands. Good luck explaining how such a system could evolve step-by-step ... so far you've failed miserably.
In other words, you're a typical Darwinist - you claim to know how evolution works, but you obviously don't.
