Cassiopeia during puberty.

I'm more alarmed by the fact that this picture exists.

Me too. Me too...

I'm wondering if its a photoshop or if someone abused an animal

This is the wild South American Toothsnake. The "teeth" you see are actually an extension of its lips that it bares in order to scare off predators. The "braces" actually happen to be colorful venom sacs that it uses to draw in small prey like rodents and small birds before quickly injecting them with a paralyzing venom, shortly after devouring its prey. This species is not generally dangerous to humans, but do take care not to step on one's head, as it may hit your foot and make it numb for a while.

To avoid explaining too much about it, here's a link to an educational video about this creature.
