After I first got Cake and posted it on facebook... can not believe the response I received from my friends HAHAH. The kind of comments that are half joking but implying half serious, you know?
I've gotten:
"Have you seen the movie Anaconda?"
me: "No."
"You should watch it."
... implying that somehow, watching the movie Anaconda will make me fear snakes, as if I didn't know what I was getting myself into?
And another immediate response after I got Cake:
"There was this guy in another state who had a pet cottonmouth. He kissed it on the mouth and he got bitten in the face."
As he waited for my response to decide to NOT want a ball python...
I guess those aren't exactly myths and I'm kind of on a tangent here. But essentially the level of misunderstanding people have about snakes in general...
