Worst Reptile "Story"

[iluvsmyreptiles]

My ex-father in law is convinced that Coastal Carpet Pythons have inbred with taipans, so when you see a carpet in the wild...it could be deadly venomous! LOL!
What is the worst Reptile Story that you've heard or been told?

 

[Greebo]

It's hard to pick the worst one.
A guy once told me about the time he was bitten by a carpet python out in the bush.Since he was nowhere near a hospital, he cut open the wound and sucked the 'poison' out.
It must of worked because he is still alive!

I love the story in the alan cann / snakes alive.
The bushie is showing off the dead snake, in a jar, that bit his finger, he amputated his finger and had his severed finger in the bottle with the dead snake.
Proud as punch, until it was pointed out that it was actually harmless.

That's not funny as hell. That sucks. What was the out come?

 

[saikrett]

thought he would of known better

 

[Greebo]

I thought it was funny ad, although just like my story it highlights ppls ignorance...which is kinda sad.

 

[Parko]

coulda been worse, what if he got bit on the leg?

 

[Greebo]

I see where your going with this......

 

[ad]

Yeah, Eugene - careful
Apparently it was common to chop your finger off asap after being bitten.
One guy went to the wood heap on dusk to get more firewood . On reaching down to pick up some wood he felt a painful sting to his finger, out of the corner of his eye he sees a snake slither off, so he quickly lopped his finger off.
When they found the severed finger it had a splinter in it.

 

[Greebo]

Lucky he wasnt going for a wee!

 

[Parko]

ouch! oh well guess I'll just have to ''SLICE'' AAAAAAAAGH!

Heres an urban myth that might be true.
The frog smuggler has hundreds of frogs he is transporting to a different destination, he is driving through a major town with lots of traffic around and its starts raining!
The whole car starts croaking louder and louder and louder.

 

[saikrett]

and........?

 

[Greebo]

They all croaked!

No problem he'd have just needed a bigger jar

Here's a bad reptile moment brought to you by a prairie rattlesnake. Hope this isn't too graphic.

For the record, that's not my thumb.
