I'm quite interested in the myths and misconceptions people have regarding reptiles, and the sad fact is they seem to be endless.
Share any you have heard that have amused you or striked you as odd.

I was looking for a snake in a lady's back yard one day and she told me it would be down in the back corner for sure, because snakes have no legs and therefore can only travel downhill using gravity
