    Snake Myths!
    I thought this might be fun.

    I was watching ReptileBytes and this came up.
    Well honestly, how many topics are there that we have deemed Myths of some sort?
    So I thought, why don't we put it all together. What are your favorite silly snake myths? Reptile myths?

    Personally I just love the 'Snakes won't bite at a lemon' one. I hadn't heard of that one before! :D


    P.s. I won't bite..
    Much..

    The other night my little spider tagged a fellow BP owner on the finger. He's still a little bitey, and up to this day only had failed strikes at me. This time he got my friend and actually drew one little dot of blood from her finger. Another buddy that knows absolutely nothing about BPs or snakes says:

    "You better kill him. Once a snake tastes human blood, they get the taste for it and attack you every time you try and handle them!"

    I can't tell if that was rude or not. :confused:
    And I'm so tired that I don't care that I accidentally did that, I mix things up a lot like that..
    If a mod comes around I would love if they changed it for me. ;)

    -Ok this is the best of all. "Snakes are as addictive as crack" I say thats a myth cus everyone knows that snakes are way more addictive than crack lol. (not that I have done crack but then again I did stay at a holiday in express last night.)

    I feel like I have to throw in my .02 here. Sarcasm is difficult to detect in writing. Forums are a bad place for sarcasm. Don't be offended, I feel like they were just trying to make a joke. Maybe some [/sar][sar] boxes are necessary:rolleye2:.

    True, but they are a relatively new member. It took me quite a while to find these guys when I first started.:banana::banana::banana:
