lol, now this is really funny!!.

I seem to remember finding a website where they had snakes for sale called "cow suckers"....I just don't wanna know how or why they got that name! :cow: :confused:


~~Jo~~

My buddy next door (who has nightmares about snakes) came over a few days ago when he saw the FedEx truck and said "You know those things are like copper heads. They bite you and you just die, die I tell you!!!".

What a goof ball. Hey? Is that a new morph? LOL:O

I used to be deathly afraid of snakes, but at the same time fasinated by them. Used to have sooo many nightmares of being bitten and killed by snakes when I was kid...

My dad thought it would be funny to put a big rubber snake in my bed one night when I was like 12...I about killed him!

Rick still can't get over how excited I am now about snakes, hehe...=)

when i was little my brother use to tell me that worms were baby snakes and if you dug them up they would bite you. (i think i was like 4 when he would tell me this and him being in school he knew all there was to know about everything).

LMAO... it took me the longest time even after i knew better to touch a worm!

Boy, let me tell you....I worked in a pet store for six years amd I've got TONS of stories....plenty of weird reptile questions too. However, one question always comes to mind as the strangest/stupidest question about snakes Ive ever heard. A woman was asking me how I got baby snakes, because she though snakes were asexual....WTF!!!!!!
Flippin' IDIOTS!!!!

Along with the worm thing, I have met people who think a snake will turn into two snakes if you cut it in half.

I have also been asked where the stinger is in the tail.. and have met plenty of people who think snakes barf their babies up. :bleh:

Most people wonder why I'm not dead yet when I tell them what I keep in my room.

In their case, ignorance is *NOT* bliss.

Asexual????? That's so funny.......


Well my aunt thinks all snakes are poisonous, and i didn't know this until one day I told her that one of my red tails had bitten me in the hand, and she basically fainted. we had to call an ambulance.... and everyone tried to say it was my fault..... My arguement was that since i was standing right in front of her then obviously I'm okay..

Yeah, I get that "aren't they ALL venomous? " thing all the time ... never ceases to amaze me just how more ignorant on the natural world people can get....

Lots of people think they can sting you with their tongue too.
