Quite possibly the stupidest question you've ever heard. . .

I like cats.
. . .might just be this one. I even suspect I already know the answer, but I need some reassurance. I just want everyone to know that I KNOW it's a stupid question and I won't be doing this any time soon, but:

Is it ever, or can it ever be safe to put a snake in your mouth? Not the whole thing. If you needed to put a snake in your mouth for some strange reason, what would you do to cut down the risks of salmonella, or other problems? Could it hurt the snake?

I seriously would like to know the answer to these questions. I saw some guy on TV who swallowed a snake instead of a sword. It looked corn-ish, but I didn't watch for very long. Would the risks be on the same level as say eating a raw egg or licking uncooked chicken? Of course, I'd think stomach acid could not be any good for a snake, but that is not what I am wondering about. I'm wondering about the idiot who jammed it in his face. Thanks!
 
Personally, I would say that putting a snake in your mouth is one of the most stupid things you could do with an animal (mind you, I've seen things a lot stranger than that done with snakes). It would be very dangerous for the snake, what with the teeth and all and the fact that you may accidently breathe it in or something. Another thought is the salmonella. Salmonella is contracted orally so I wouldn't really recommend putting a snake in your mouth (not that you'd do it yourself, of course). Lol. Maybe that man was drunk- or just stupid.

Don't do it....

but, a guy on Ripley's Believe It or Not...had a small little green snake go up his nose and out his mouth... Not sure of the type of snake, but neat to watch!
 
ewwww! Kind of off topic, but...

That reminds me of the ONE time I watched Jack@ss on MTV where this guy snorted worms up his nose and spit them out of his mouth. He vomited several times after that and I was pretty close to running for the toilet myself. YUCK!
 
that was Steve-O. He is an idiot on that show, he does some really crazy and stupid things, like when he put crawfish down his trousers, and when he jumped into a huge pile of decaying elephant poo. I am sure he could find a way to do something stupid with Corn Snakes. like wear a suit of dead pinkies and jump from a diving board into a pit of baby corn snakes waiting for their first feed. but that wouldn't be it, he would odviously have to wear the scent of a pinky! :rolleyes:

Oh boy...
He's really crazy, I agree
I watched the other day as he swallowed a live goldfish and vomited it up a few minutes later. IT WAS SO DISGUSTING!!!!! poor fishie...:(
Actually, it survived, but still...Poor fishie.
I don't mind when they run around naked on the show or something b/c they're not actually hurting anyone, but stuff like that is just...ugh. Distasteful, disgusting, gross, wrong...
You may supply the adjective(s) of your choice
 
Well, the display of idiocy I was referring to was not Steve-o. It was some other guy, a while ago and it just occurred to me to wonder about the risk of disease now that I own snakes. I was reading abou snakes, suddenly remembered that show and how I wouldn't subject a snake to that kind of craziness, or the model for that matter. He actually had it down his throat.

On a similar note, I just saw a Petco commercial where this guy kisses his iguana. How irresponsible about iguanas does petco want to get?? Added to their crappy care of these guys, showing that kissing a reptile is OK is just plain stupid. They might as well hand out a caresheet that says "go ahead and stick it in a ten gallon aquarium for life, kiss it, it only eats crickets, and oh yeah they have a two-month lifespan, so come in for another one when this one dies off."
 
why oh why did i ever give up on television and commercial radio?
oh i remember now.....
some days i'd love to just walk around with a wooden spatula and smack people in the forehead with it every time i see something that stupid. wish i had a wooden spatula.......
