story's that are total rubbish

[tyson001]

im glad everyone decided to put in some story of their own its great when a thread comes together to keep it going i got another 1 i had to do a first aid course for a class at school and the first aid lady stated that brown snakes arent dangerous unless you have your fingers or toes exposed as they can only open their mouth a couple of cms.

im all for changing peoples perception of snakes but thats just stupid.

[CrystalMoon]

A lot of people I have chatted to over the years have a general misconception that ALL snakes are aggressive and attack at will and make a concentrated beeline for humans if they see or hear them I have also heard soooo many with the tale of vens and Pythons cross breeding
all we can do is continue to educate the general public I feel

[Dreaper]

OK so i decided to start a thread for people to add story's that are total bull that people against reptiles have told you to stop you from getting them. my most recent one is the my uncle story example one of my mates say i was talking to my uncle and he says he new a lady who had a carpet python and they found it laying next to her in the morning the story goes that the snake was sizing her up to eat here the following night so she had to have it put down before it ate her all in dramatic tone then if i comment about the fact there is no way the snake is big enough they retaliate by saying o no wait it wasn't going to eat her just strangle her.so that's one of my story please add if you have any as its interesting to here what people can come up with.please no names.

actually a true story, although the snake had already eaten her husband and due to it being such a large meal took his shape, took 3 weeks before anyone noticed it was a snake and not him. true story happened to a friends mothers sisters friend

Funny story about a dead RBB, When i was a kid i was at a friends house, one of the dogs was barking its **** off at something, Nek Minnit we realise its barking at a snake. Well by this time its too late and the dog has killed the snake, he was throwing the body around the yard playing with it after decapitating it. So my mates dad used a clothes peg to ick up the head and put it in the bin. My mate and me being kids wanted to know how sharps its fangs were, thinking a dead snake couldn't hurt us. Well as it turns out they can, long story slightly shorter he spent some time in hospital and now we know better

my step mother constantly freaks out because im sleeping with "dangerous venomous snakes" ( actually two coastals) in my bedroom " honestly rebecca what happens if they escape, they will bite you and kill you, you silly little girl".

i find it hilarious to post pictures of my snake bites to her. i sent her a picture of my smallest snake ( a 50cm coastal) locking onto my finger. the lecture i got for scaring the hell out of her was well worth the trouble i got into


people fear the unknown and more often then not they would rather spread the fear then actually learn about it.

i rather enjoy taking my snakes out the front in the arvo and letting ppl see they arent horrible. my girl was nice enough to bite me in front of a few ppl and one lady freaked right out haha.

i used to live near coffs harbour with my ex and her family on a few acres in the bush, they were serious when they would say carpets and tigers/ browns, were breeding and that all snakes are deadly, it didnt matter what i said they would have a bar of the truth but the best one was i caught a big scrubbie one day (it was a bit longer than their station wangon and i caught it to relocate it because they were red neck f... heads) long story short it was apparently a anaconda, i didnt know what to say to that.
oh also incase you didnt realise acording to them what we call echidnas are porkypines and they shoot there quills at you and you have to go to hospital to have them removed.

[daniel101]

not a story but anyone here watch turtleman ?
well on last weeks episode he was called in to remove a rattlesnake, after capturing he had it held by the head and tail, it clinged on to his leg and he acted as if it were an anaconda, straining for it to let him go. Me and my dad were overcome in laughter haha

[Venomous_RBB]

Did she still buy the cage off you after you laughed in her face?
Maybe she didn't realised it?

Ah ah funny story about the Woma though!


MY OWN STORY:
When my 5yo first saw a Woma at Australia Zoo and said he really, really wanted one as pet, I said:
"no way, are you crazy? - can't you see its narrow head ?
Its defo venomous!"

Ah ah (being from Europe) I had no idea about Aussie snakes...

After many weeks of research we got a Woma as his first snake.

Looking back, I laugh at my self nowadays


P.S ...and about to acquire a second Woma, cause they're so dangerously addictive!

Ha ha, yeah she did, but I just didnt understand, she said she was an "expert" on reps but well uhh unless I have been misinformed by many people then I could prove her wrong there.
Anyway, It made my day, still have a chuckle

Haha i was told this story yet again today. Iv also been told that snakes chase people and atack them for being in there area. Oh and that death adders kill you instantly just one bite and you drop dead. My misses tryed to convince me that my pythons were 'poisones' i educated her and now she loves them and has some of her own.
