Heard this one from a friend, I didnt even talk to him. I just pictured in my mind me slapping him across the face as hard as possible :rofl:

Some people :rage:

How about one of the most common myths, which I've read on here more than once... "Your snake will be aggressive and bite you if you feed in their enclosures." Apparently my snakes missed that memo, LOL. :rolleyes:

Another one I've heard, "ANY snake has the potential to kill you!" Yeah, like my corn snakes could strangle - let alone swallow - a human. :D I've also been asked "Aren't you afraid they'll eat your cats/dog?" Um, no?

-Anyone that has ever been around blackberry vines probably has heard this one,"That white foamy stuff on blackberry vines is snake spit..."

- Snakes like to cuddle...

- Snakes eat crickets...

I actually can't wait until my boa is big enough to eat my cats......I kid.....maybe.

A couple people at work asked me how many crickets and mealworms I have to feed all the snakes. They know I keep snakes and they know I breed bugs, so I can't blame them that much.

I heard that someone got bit by their ball python and they had to get dozens of stitches and had to have dozens of teeth removed from their arm. That was told to me by my mother, talking about my cousin.

"Reptiles are ridden with bachteria, and will make you sick."

Uh, yeah. Maybe if I lick my snakes from head to tail. First of all, ew, and the same thing would happen if we sucked on our dog's toes after he stepped in poo. :puke2:

One of my brother's friends told me that he had a friend who slept with his boa every night and it would size him up to see if he could eat him but continued sleeping with him anyway.

LOL..you have one of those cats too uh? Yeah, i keep looking at my very stupid long haired cat and wonder...will my over 5 foot BCI see him as a tasty treat??? I'm kidding of course. I would never put my snake in harm...the cat on the other hand, depends on how many times at night he wakes me up by biting my face...LMAO. :rofl:

One I continually hear.....You ball python will regurgitate if held after it eats :rolleyes:
It seems most snakes missed this memo too
