What totally out there responses have people given you when you talk about reptiles?

Someone asked me what type of snake I had. When I said BP, he told me to be careful. "They grow up to thirty feet and will kill you while you sleep!"

Also was told they are extremely poisonous!
Othere comments:
How do they pee?
How do they hold their food with no claws?

yea the kill you in your sleep thing is a good one. I'm like only if they get out, open the door to the herp room come in my room, crawl up on my bed with out the cat seeing and choke me before I wakeup.

Everyone has a friend or an uncle that had a friend that had a boa that when they woke up one night it had eaten their arm. LOL

I'm sorry look at the bite pic in the "how many bad bites" thread. I would feel the first tooth that whet into my skin much less enough to eat my whole arm. LOL

Uh oh you guys are making me rethink ball pythons!! I thought they had claws, and I was going to keep it in case my boyfriend cheated on me, ebcause then the ball python would choke him for me!
And I was also expecting one that would become a 30 ft pie!
this forum has done nothing but mislead me

IIIIIIIII'LLLLLLLLLLLLL I'LL YOU HAVE SNAKE'S!!!!!!!!!! I'LLLLL YOU HAVE SNAKE'S are they venomou's?

Yes,I think we have all been mislead. :confuzd: I feed Bob and feed him , still no 30 ft.

What have I done wrong!!:confused: ;)
I also had a vegatarian ask me if you don't feed them mice, what vegetables would they like!!:laughing: :clueless:

LOL thats great. hmmmmm Would you like the Ranch or the blue cheeze tonight Orpheus.

Talk about not respecting biodiversity at all......LOL

"Why did you let your husband get them?!?!" My response ... ummmm, no they're mine. :D

My grandmother is my best story. I had taken Junior to the vet, and when I came home my grandmother was there. She is terrified of snakes, so i tried to just sneak her in. Well she came out of my sister's room and gave me a hug without looking. Junior was on my shoulders and she came face to face with Junior. She screamed so freaking loud saying "It tried to eat my face!"


Positively priceless.

I must say, I do hate it when people play the expert, and yet I am the one that owns the dang thing!

something funny here,

I have gotten the whole "will it eat you" deal
but this was to funny, i was out side taking photos of my 2 when the new girl from across the street comes over. (mind you she is very christan)

Her: what is that thing?!?
me : It's a Ball Python (going in to where I got her and so on)
her: You do know they are the devil right?
me:excuse me?
her: the Devil. God took the legs away from the devil and turned him in to a snake, you have pure evil in your house now!!
I some how couldnt convence her that my snakes were not the devil and were infact reptiles. I would hate to have her see the black eyed Luistic! (sp?)

here is another good one that just happened about an hour ago
them: what do they eat?
me: rats and mice
them:WHAT!!! cant you feed it greens like iguanas and stuff?
feeding rats and mice to another living animal is crule, not only to the mice and rats but the the snake as well. you should have your animals taken away from you and you should go to jail!

I just let it go ... there is no point in trying to tell someone the right thing when they are that far gone.
