i only know one myth about snakes, and it's not about bp's. i am pretty sure it is a myth too. there is a story that in el cajon, a sub-city of san diego, there were some people who owned a giant anaconda. one night while drugged up they thought it would be cool to fool their friend and feed him to the snake. the story says they were on lsd when they came up with the ideal. so they tricked their friend into the backyard housing the green anaconda knowing it was hungry, and let the anaconda eat the guy. like i said i am pretty sure it is just a myth, cause if all these kids talk about it, then the cops would have known, and something like that would have been on the news for sure.
but that leads me to a myth. a lot of poeple think ball pythons only need eat once a month or even once a year. however this is not true, they need to eat at reguler intervals. most poeple see my bp, and ask about food, thinking they only have to be fed every 6 months or so... WRONG!
hope it helps some..
