At work a lot of the time I'm holding either a large BCI or albino burm, and here are some of my favorite questions I've been asked by the general public while doing so.

'Does it bite?' - ok, a valid question, but honestly, would I be offering to let you pet it if it'd bite you?

'Is it venomous?' - see above + duh!

'Is it slimy?' - They're shiny yes, but do they honestly look slimy? And would I be slinging it around my neck if it was?

'Does it have teeth?' - Ok, so you can't really see the teeth when a snake opens it's mouth, but why would everyone be so afraid of a snake bite if it was all gums?

'Is it a cobra?'

'Is it a rattlesnake?'

'Where's it's rattle?' - This woman believed ALL snakes had rattles

'Where do the batteries go?' - An honest question. Heard especially when holding the burm.

'Will the tongue sting you?' - Where did this come from? I'm asked this nearly every day.

My personal favorite:

'Does it still have the stinger in it's tail?'
