dumb snake questions

What are the dumbest questions anyone has ever asked you about snakes?

When my best friend brought a pair of ball pythons home, his mother looked at them for a minute, got this real confused look on her face, and then goes "Where are their feet?"

:bang:
 
:roflmao:

I was once discussing handling snakes with someone, and I commented that it fascinated me how you can sometimes feel the snake's heart beating through the belly, and he looked at me and said, "But do snakes have hearts?" .... :shrugs:

Hey Jake,

I had told you that to thank you for your help this past season, I would give you one of our offspring. If you would like a hatchling, you can choose from an Albino Black rat, A rusty black rat that is double het for leucistic and whiteside, or a banana cal king. Let me know if you want one of these.

I sent you a PM.
 
The funniest question I ever got I actually just got last night from my mother..I was on the phone with her and she was complaining about how I have way to many pets..then she started asking about the snakes (I found this strange since she never cares to know anything about them but whatever..) Anyway she then asked me "Well what happens when they bite you and insert their venom?"...I just sat there for a minute.......then said "mom....I have corns...not copperheads..." She just chuckled and I started explaining how not every snake in the world was venomous...I think she was a bit shocked to hear that..lol :grin01: :grin01:
 
My stepmother, who is a vegetarian:

"Do you have to feed them mice? Those are kinda icky. What about giving them some lettuce to munch on?"

My dad just looks at me and says nothing.
 
I got this e-mail from a friend.

"We were watching Surviver last night and they showed this snake regurgitating a huge mass that looked like another snake. Do snakes regurgitate food that their bodies don't need and also I was asked to as you do snakes poo? I know this sounds weird but I said I would ask you since you are the snake girl. Thanks"

I also help put on educational reptile shows. I get a lot of repeat questions (it's a corn snake, no it won't bite you) and I tell everyone there is no such thing as a stupid question. But I did have one kid who was concerened about looking into the snakes eyes "Is it OK? My friend told me not to look in his eyes!" I guess that's what happens when everything you know you learned from disney...
 
I remembered another one! I was with a friend and a couple of other people, again discussing my snakes and they were asking me how I feed them. I was explaining how I feed my snakes in their tubs and someone asked, "Do you put the mouse in there?" Well, no... my snakes have the miraculous ability to eat through plastic walls... :grin01: Give her credit where it's due, though, she realised what she'd said afterwards and laughed.
 
My friend at school asked me do snakes have legs. (she had been to a zoo the weekend before). Also I got asked if snakes have bums and do they breath? :eek1: :rolleyes:
 
I was once asked if I thawed the mice before giving it for food... I just stared at her blankly and said, "No... They take them frozen like a popsicle... YES, THAW the mice before giving them to your snake."
