    And here I thought we'd being seeing 'kitten killer' as your new title!! Sorry I just thought that was waaayyy too funny.

    Now onto the point to the thread... I always love how people think they are going to kill my children. C'mon folks. And no they're not free ranging. Sheesh. I also love it when large grown men squeal like frightened school children and won't step foot in my house.

    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off

    Re: Dumb questions thread.

    Well this wasn't a question, but you'll love it anyway. I told someone I had a pet snake and it lives in my bedroom, a woman who overheard me comes up to me and says:

    "You really shouldn't do that"
    "Do what?"
    "Have a snake in your bedroom, it is dangerous."
    "No it isn't."
    "Yes it is!!! It will break out of that container and wrap around your neck and kill you!"
    "He can't kill a human, he isn't big or strong enough"
    "How do you know that? Are you sure?"
    "Ma'am, the snake is a baby and I have already handled him. He hasn't and won't hurt anyone."
    At this point she pats me on the cheek, and says:
    "You poor girl!! You are going to wake up dead some morning. I don't know why people don't listen to me, you'd think that........"
    And she walked away.
    This was yesterday at the grocery store.

    Re: Dumb questions thread.

    I got called wierd for walking in the woods looking for reptiles....by a neighbor that seen me walking up with a snake hook....a suntanning guy with nipple rings called me weird...LMAO. The assumptions that are made about you as a person because you own reptiles drives me nuts....ha ha...sterotypes.

    I get the 'This one time I killed a (insert common snake here)" comments alot.....I just say to myself...next time they talk about their pet dog or cat, I will casually mention how I like to kill them when I see them with no owner....(just to be sarcastic, I would not really kill a cat or dog).

    I get asked if they are venomous all the time. Alot of the other graduate students are from India....so anytime it gets brought up, they instantly think I have cobras for some reason.

    I get the quantitative questions alot....i.e. how many do you have? how big are they? how many times have they bit you? how long have you had them?

They may have the same kinds of dislikes and misconceptions of snakes as anyone else, but the "evilness" of them never enters the conversation.

    I'm quite sure there are "Bible-thumpers" out there that use the Creation story to justify their prejudices against snakes...just as they use it to justify every other judgemental attitude they have against the world. But please don't think we're all like that.

    Off my now....sorry!

    The best (worst??? LOL) question I ever had was when I was talking to a very hoity-toity lady about what I want for my future and I mentioned a dream of breeding snakes. She gets a look of horror on her face and says "How in the world do you breed snakes???"

    Well maybe you took what i said the wrong way, religion, combined with an ignorant person is a bad thing. i wasnt going off saying that all christians are whackos.

    Re: Dumb questions thread.

    Just happened to me today, yet another dumb question.


    Idiot : "How many crickets does that thing eat in a day?"


    Me : "Oh, plenty...i have a friend with a 14' burmese python that will eat millions of crickets a day. They have to inject each and every one of them with mind-altering steroids before they can eat them. And then the mothership comes down and incubates them so they can morph into power rangers."


    Yes, im a very long-winded smart @$$. Needless to say, the guy was shy to ask anymore questions. LOL
