Hi guys! Still alive over here, and I've just gotten started on typing up an FAQ for Blue Gorgon. I got inspired by being asked so many questions by people at the vet waiting room, but I want to make sure I cover as much ground as possible since the whole Blue Gorgon thing -aside from pimping VBB awesomeness- is to help people who are unfamiliar with snakes see them as beautiful instead of scary and alien.
Some of the ones I've got so far include:
~Why snakes?
~Do your snakes run around loose in your home?
~You also keep pet house rabbits, aren’t you scared that your snakes will get out and eat them?
~Isn’t it true that if you feed a snake in their own enclosure they’ll be more inclined to bite when you reach in for them?
~A snake will only get as big as it’s enclosure, right?
~Can I keep more than one snake in an enclosure?
~Can I feed a snake something other than rodents/meat?
~How often do they eat?
I had a woman ask me the other day if Ma-tsu might eat her dachsaund, after which I needed to gently explain the laws of physics (Ma-tsu is not a Snake of Holding!) but I don't think that quite falls under common misconceptions. Or does it?
What have non-snake people asked you the most? I'm not so much looking for the wackiest questions, but the ones you get asked the most. Sometimes the two may cross over, but you get the idea.![]()
