[GiddyGoat]

i literally just lol'd. This is so damn funny!

Haha yay, laughter. Sorry for not responding sooner, I got poisoned by a snake tongue. I don't think I'll ever recover....

And aren't people who do demonstrations supposed to KNOW THEIR STUFF??? Like c'mon XD. I've heard some variations of everything we just said in this thread over the two days of not being here as more people find out I'm getting le snek. *sigh*

Yeah.... I talked to the lady after the presentation and told her about average BP length and that I had 3 adult females at home that were 5' or less and that it was highly unusual to see one even 6' long much less longer. I think the center just hires or "interns" any bio major with the local university, but just goes to show a science degree doesn't automatically make you an expert in the species you're talking about lol.

I also told her that she might want to mention about it being illegal to harm or take from the wild any native reptile species in our state (it is a crime) and it being illegal to own any native species here too... Both of which I think are very important and she didn't mention.

Strangest BP myth? Three words: "Ball python genetics"

As if ball pythons are some kind of alien species that has genetics that behave completely different from any other organism on this planet
