So...I know you've all heard uneducated people spout the strangest things about reptiles, and swear up and down that they are true. What's the strangest thing you've ever heard?

Mine has to be the lady that swore her friend's BP ate lettuce. I just kinda stared at her for a second, and then told her that there is not one single snake on the planet that is a herbivore. This woman actually argued with me for a good twenty minutes about this, getting progressively more snarky, before I told her that the only way a snake would eat lettuce would be if you shoved it down the throat of a mouse first. Whereupon she turned around and huffed out of the store.

I still wonder about this from time to time. I mean, lettuce? Good grief.
