That Death adders can jump 2 metres into the air...
They can, one jumped into my car and bit me, but lucky I rubbed some milk onto the bite, I'm fine now.

Hope mine doesn't bite me then.
My friends always ask me if my pythons fangs hurt when they bite...

I have heard this many times and it happened through a friend of a friend but its never the same people.
The snake that nearly ate the new born baby in the rocker... the mother and father werent in the room and when Mum came back into the lounge room the snake hard curled up around the baby and had its mouth open ready to eat the baby.

The ol' venemous blue tongue story..I remember having a lengthy discussion on this one with an 'expert' on this very forum.
Cane toads squirting poison at peoples eyes ala spitting cobra...sigh.

THE BEST ONE......
I was talking to my friend about snakes (he's not snake savvy) and he asked me what the difference was between pythons and poisonous snakes ( I corrected him) and I said that venomous snakes use venom and pythons constrict their prey. Then he said
'oh yeah but they have venom as well ayy'
'What?
'They have venom but it doesn't affect humans'
'HAHAHAHAHA"

What? So cane toads don't spit? I was told many years ago, that they do and I have always believed it. I was terrified of them when I watched a cane toad race in Cairns once. I screamed like a child when it came near me, yet I was pleading with the handler to let me hold the water python. But he wouldn't let me.

I hear that a lot too. I am sick of being the know it all that corrects everyone, so I just listen and say wow. I know they're talking about the bearded dragons so who cares what they call it.
Ok, whatever.

I knew a guy who saw a 45 foot carpet. It had to be legit; I met him at a party. Apparently he stuffed it into a car seat cover but it escaped somewhere along the road without his knowing... I suspect he had the radio up superloud when it opened and shut the door, bailing onto the road...
Cow's milk... goat's milk... it smells different to me. Yak and bison milk are apparently pink-tinged and sickly-sweet. Either way snakes could be attracted to milk. Some of ours do like curling up on some good cleavage, but they do that to non-lactating women as well so they may again be partial to a bit of boob
I do that as well, it's easier than the usual ensuing argument. Nobody likes to be wrong

Did u see the 'enclosure' they had it in! Yeah, lets just throw a blanket over the top, 'she'll be right'
It is tragic that the little girl was killed, but those 'parents' deserve the jail sentence! Freaking idiots!& as for it 'killing' her.....well it did i guess, but imo it was seeking the warmth of her body, it was kept with no heat, & it didnt constrict or swallow her, it smothered her....big difference in my eyes! Either way, her 'parents' are morons!
