whats the funniest/most bazzare thing you heard about snakes?

[Johar]

well, here's the most funny things
1 - my granma said "OH NO!! ITS EVIL!!, ITS THE DEVIL!! KILL IT!!!!" i was like wtf???

some of my friends were like "you still dont have any babies? good!!"
last thing "what do you feed it? eggs?"

My grandmother is that way about frogs and toads. For some reason she has no problem with the massive black snakes that live all over her property. Smynx is KIND of the same way - if it has legs she doesnt want to have anything to do with it.

Weirdest thing though was not about the snakes directly but about "snake doctors" which is what she always called dragonflies - it stuck and I grew up refering to them that way - as a kid I always wondered how they took care of the snakes but figured it was handy since they could fly right in and hover where they needed to work. Even after outgrowing that idea I still think "snakedoctor" anytime I see a dragonfly.


Other than that - there are still some folks that live down in her extremely rural area who might still beleive the warning they gave me as a small child - namely that "they'll sting you with their tails too"

My boyfriend's 7 y/o daughter thought that snakes lay their eggs out of their mouth! This was becuz she saw a pic of an egg eater snake and thought the wrong thing!

If you play music after 6pm, the Russels Viper would make a bee line straight to your home and bite ya!

Snakes will chase you if you decide to run. If you do get chased by such a creature, make sure you run zig-zag instead of in a straight line

My mother-in-law told me this story about how there was a type of snake in the town she grew up in that would go up to nursing women as they slept and nurse from them. :eek:

Gotta love those milksnakes!

It was funny when I found how milksnakes got there name. I heard that the farmers used to say that the milksnakes would steal the milk from cows. Boy I could just see that a cow standing still so a milk snake could put its teeth in thier teat.

howabout about the "two steps" in vietnam. the vipers that the vietnamese hung from the tunnles would kill you after 2 steps.

and this one isnt about snakes but it's still funny; my grandma still thinks frogs and toads give you warts.

People always ask me if I'm afraid that my snakes will hypnotize me.

I had a little girl ask where the ball python Bill was from. I told her that ball pythons come from Africa. Her response(no I am not making this up)
"Oh well, he is evil then."
Me: "No, he isn't evil"
Her: "Oh everything that comes out of Africa is evil"
Huh? What is she overhearing??? OMG.
I talked to her a bit, but was pretty astounded at that.
