Good Idea Python.princess

i think this belongs in one of the myth threads...

I just thought this was a good idea. If no one has done it already. lol

Just post some of those ridiculous myths about reptiles that you have heard around, via word of mouth, internet etc...
This would be a good snakebytestv. episode . Oh yeah it is in all of the episodes and never gets old. So lets here em for some good ol' laughs.

There's an active one on BP's here:

That one is specifically for ball pythons. I think the OP meant this for all reptiles.

Here's some I know of:

1.) If you kill a snake, it doesn't truly die until sundown.
2.) Coachwhips will chase you down and whip you with their tails.
3.) Snakes can't bite underwater.
4.) Turtles/tortoises are not reptiles; they're amphibians (thanks, Full House!)
5.) Iguanas and geckos are not lizards (what the heck are they then?)
6.) The mud snake will roll itself in a loop, rolls down hills to chase people and sting them with its sharp tail.

Do you know which episode I speak of? Uncle Jesse brings home a tortoise that he almost hit with his motorcycle...and throughout the show, he and other cast members said the phrase, "I love that amphibian"....thus, spawning a countrywide misconception that tortoises and their ilk are amphibians.
