Craziest snake myth you have ever heard??

[Lolo76]

How about one of the most common myths, which I've read on here more than once... "Your snake will be aggressive and bite you if you feed in their enclosures." Apparently my snakes missed that memo, LOL.

Another one I've heard, "ANY snake has the potential to kill you!" Yeah, like my corn snakes could strangle - let alone swallow - a human. I've also been asked "Aren't you afraid they'll eat your cats/dog?" Um, no?

-Anyone that has ever been around blackberry vines probably has heard this one,"That white foamy stuff on blackberry vines is snake spit..."

- Snakes like to cuddle...

- Snakes eat crickets...

This is not a myth, rather a "time worn" cliche I really get tired of hearing every time a co worker or acquaintance finds out I keep reptiles, mainly snakes. I always hear "The only good snake is a DEAD snake!" To which I have begun to reply, " In another place & time it might be the snake saying that about you!"

Funny thing, no one wants to come to my house, they envision all my snakes & tarantulas run freely throughout my home waiting for the unsuspecting visitor to stop by so they have something to eat again. I've even had some ask me if I feed them small children & dogs & cats? Heaven forbid when I tell them where I keep my frozen mice & rats. Go figure!!

works to keep the dummies away thank god my ex is one of them i got my collection set up so once any of the 3 entry doors will let them see a snake you'd be surprised who does an about face once they spot a 9 foot Burmese even if it is in a locked cage.

did have one of those bible pushers ask if he could hold the Burmese after knocking on the door one day.

Yes they do they are interesting snakes but gorgeous.

Someone said that they should feed their baby corn crickets because it didn't eat a mouse pinky. It was a face palm moment.

I took my ball to pick up pizza one day and he is like 24" but people acted like he was a 10 foot python and intentionally skirted around me and my girlfriend by like 5 feet it was quite funny.

the corn probably wouldn't be able to strangle u let alone SWALLOW you, BUT, you could accidentally choke on him
