Snake Rumors

That would be fun, too. I'll never forget the time I caught someone burning a bat (mammal bat) with a lighter, right outside at work!! I went PSYCHO!!

I get asked a lot if corn snakes only grow to the size of their cage. No idea where that came from.
People also say they like being held because of your warmth. I tell them that if they heated up to human body temperature they would die. They like room temperature.
The worst rumor/myth constrictors will eat infants. People always ask me what I'll do when I have children some day. I say I won't let my kids pet a rabbit then pet my BCI. Really, if there is a good snake for kids, corn snakes would be it.

The stupidest story I've ever heard, from a grown man even. "I have a friend who lived in Florida who owned an anaconda. Her boyfriend got mad at it one day and kicked it in the head to it ate him up right there and there was nothing she could do about it."
Second stupidest story I've ever heard, this from a grown woman. "I don't like snakes because my room mate had a ball python that attacked me one day, constricted on my and broke my leg in three places."

OMG buring a bat!!!!!? WHY!? THATS SO HORRIBLE!! :[ I would have gone balistic too! Id light them on fire and see how they like it. I hate some people off topic but my mom had a friend and her husband was a big manly man hunter and they had stuff he killed all over the house (they have a polar bear!! isent that illegal) anyway they were all proud because their super annoying stupid 11 year old son shot and killed a black bear now they are getting it stuffed and mounted on his bedroom wall. I was like yeah, theres a nice thing to teach your little kid how to kill animals. Their house disgusts me! They have black bears, mooses, wolfs, foxes, quails, other birds, some wierd fur on one of the walls, and a bunch of other animals even common squrilles why you would want a squrille stuffed is beyong me but whatever. I just want to like burn their house down. :flames: :)

anyway aww thats so cute you tought choco how to do tricks!! :crazy02: You should film him doing them.

ahahaha ant I like those stories. Expecially the ball python one. :grin01:

My older sister thought that! She was like wont Kade only frow to his tank and I was like ahaha no.
 
From most disliked to funny

1. Snakes are evil
2. The only good snake is a dead snake
3. All snakes are deadly and will kill you if given the chance
4. Snakes are slimy
5. Snakes were made by the devil
 
Well, I'll catch flack for this but here it is.
The most ridiculous story is definitely in the bible.
The serpent tempted Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit, which she then offered to Adam. God condemmed the serpent to crawl on it's belly forever and banished the couple from Eden.

What really happened was, the serpent (already limbless) tempted Adam with the apple and God then created Eve! :laugh01:
 
Answering the door with a snake! Lol. Oh my Gawd. That's sounds like so much fun, I'm gonna order a pizza right now just to try it.

So snakes do tricks? Wicked! I've gotta get Josephine training as soon as she becomes an adult. Not yet though... I don't want her to miss her childhood like those olympic hopeful or padgent moms do.) Ha!

I do understand people being cautious around snakes, and all animals for that matter cause well, they can bite. I'm afraid of bunnies for that reason.
(Monty Python's fault)

I don't understand people thinking they are ugly or gross 'cause if I could get away with it, I'd be rubbing nose with my little guys all the time. They are adorable. When Joe sticks her little head out at me from her hide. OMG. I could just die it's so dam cute. And when Ben my BP starts "sniffing" my face? Absolute Perfect Love.

M' Kay. I gotta go order a pizza...

I wish this one was true: Snakes travel in pairs, the survivor seeking revenge if one is killed.

This is at least half true, with some snakes, sometimes. Two weekends ago when I was photographing a painted turtle I heard a snake come up through the leaves behind me. I turned around and it was two Northern Black Racers playing a game of grab-ass in the weeds. I kid you not. One was chasing the other around nipping at its tail. They were almost oblivious to my presence. This went on for about a minute before they moved out of sight still going at it.

heh.. :sheepish grin:: that was me when I bargained with my husband to let me get a snake 7 years ago and I purchased Phantom. And for a while I held out.. until this year, when I purchased hannah (who's still missing) and then Pythios. Now Im looking at getting two BP's, (hubby knows what I want to get but doesn't realize how soon I will be getting them :D ).

the thing I really hate the most is when people say "I hate snakes" and when I ask why they go "just because I do". :shrugs: people, go figure!!

I sorry to hear Hannah is still missing.

I know that "This is the only one . . " line. I said that when I got Gaia andnow this coming weekend in Columbia I'll be looking for two more and I have already made my mind up to get additional three after that. I need to find room for them.

But that's going to be it. I promise. :grin01:
