venomous bp

I was searching through the portland section of craigslist and come across an add with someone giving away a 55 gallon tank and their bp. At the end of the ad it says snake is no longer dangerous its had its venom removed. Some people are just plain ole dumb.:snake:

Hahahahaha

Lmao:rofl: you would be surprised what ppl would beleive!

so, all this time i thought i was harvesting venom to make a magic potion and save the world... now you're tellin me it's just SLOBBER???? crap!

You would be surprised. My mother in law still believes my snakes are venomous. When she hears we are getting another she tells me "It better not be venomous!" is a serious angry tone. It is extremly annoying that people are so poorly informed.

i hope your kidding lol. no BP has venom. so dont worry

I do believe she was joking....

At work when people find out I own ball pythons I am ALWAYS asked. "So do you have that antivenom stuff around for when you get bitten"... *sigh* We can't all be bright crayons

come to think of it, i don't think i've EVER been asked if my snakes are venomous... wow. guess i hang with nuttn but bright crayons, huh! lol

I get asked all the time. The 2 most questions I get asked are "arent those venomous?" and "arent you afraid theyre going to kill you while you sleep?" depending on who Im talking to and the mood Im in depends on my answer. If Im annoyed by the pesron then I usually say yes in a sarcastic voice. If Im energetic and feel like joking around and have my snake out I act like its about to bite and start freakin out. that usually gets people pretty good. But for the most part I try to geive them a little insight into the snake world. It just gets annoying to have to tell at least 25% of the people I talk to that most snakes are not venomous.
