What is the dumbest thing you have ever heard?

Okay, so, I had on gloves while I was holding Frosty, my snow stripe, when he was about 2.5 or 3 feet long. I had gloves on because he very well may be the spawn of Satan. :rofl:

Anywho, my ex said "Oh my god!!! It's a TAPEWORM!!!" :roflmao:

I took off my gloves and reached in to get Norma. My ex said "Why'd you take off your gloves? Your hands are going to be slimey!"

Hilarious statements:
"Well I KNOW they have molars because otherwise they couldn't chew their food!"
"Awwwh. Poor thing's rattle must have fallen off."
"If he bites you, you'll have to suck out the venom."
"Don't get close! Those suckers can jump ten feet!"
"Snakes don't mate, they're all female. They get pregnant after they eat."
"That's not a cornsnake. Cornsnakes are yellow."
"Snakes don't have bones, so you can tie them around your wrist if you want." (I was arrested for assault on this particular individual afterwards, FYI.)
"You need a sun lamp on them or they turn black and shrivel up."
"Taking a snake's babies away from her is just CRUEL!"
"You're supposed to keep them in water or they'll dry up."
"Yeah, they're born with legs and then they fall off later."
"They can't see you if you're standing still."
"I can't believe you cut off that poor thing's rattler!" - "No, ma'am, I didn't." - "Yes you did! You're lying through your teeth! I've seen those rattles for sale in Winona!" - "Ma'am, we're quite a drive from Winona."

And questions I've gotten:
"When they shed their skin, do they ever bleed to death?"
"What kind of sounds do they make?"
"Why don't you put cardboard in there for him to chew on?"
"Why don't you just feed them sausage?"
"Where's his food dish? Are you starving him or something?"
"Does it run really fast?"
"If I look at him in the eyes, he won't bite my face, will he?"
"Won't he chew through the plastic?!"
"Is his butt on the top or bottom?"
"Where are its ears?"
"Doesn't the smell of hairspray, like, make them crazy?"

Oh lordie, lordie... I can't think of anymore, but I'm sure I will. :nope:

OK, So when people ask me if one of my snakes bite, I give the same answer when I'm walking my dog and get that question...

"Does he bite?..."

My response

"ONLY BAD PEOPLE."

I love watching the gears in their head come to a crashing halt as they freeze for a split second contemplating whether they could be considered a bad person...you can practically see it happening in their eyes...try this it's great!

I've just taken to answering "Yep." to that question. Because technically, they do bite their food!








And bad people.
 
At the snake shop I hang out at every week, there is this lady that comes in sometimes and brings ft rats. Well onetime, they told her I was a cornsnake breeder. So she gives me this long speech about how if I ever want to find out what genetics my corns are carrying then all I have to do is breed one to a blizzard or a snow and if the snakes are het the babies will come out that morph because the snow and blizzard are missing the color genes.. I was like uhuh, really?? LOL You could tell she wasn't the kind of person you could argue with so I didnt waste my time :)

That's so strange, I mean where do these people get these outlandish ideas?
 
Dumbest snake remarks I've ever heard: True stories.

"If you wiggle your finger in front of a snake, will it start to eat it? And if it does, like, can you take your finger out or will it fall off?..."

"Do snakes ever make barking sounds?"

"Could your snake ever eat your cat?" -"It's a corn snake, they're too small" -"Yeah, but what about the tail?"

"Do snakes have organs?"

"If you bred a green snake to a white snake, would it turn like a sea foam colour?"

"How come it doesn't close it's eyes to sleep?" - "It doesn't have eyelids." - "Why?!! What happened to it?!"

Oh, I know there's more, and these aren't that funny but it's all I got. ;)

These are all cute questions and I would have loved to answer them myself. Again these questions fall under this post


As for these questions..

There is a picture that I have seen at this site with a Cat being killed by a Florida King, which is about the size of a Large Corn.

Well here is a blurry picture of a yearling thinking it can eat my finger. It took it to between the first and second joint on my index finger.
It felt very weird and slimy afterwards. the finger did not fall off though.

As for this one, I have bull snakes that make a sound that is almost as loud as the neighbors rodent size dog.

I've been looking for that picture everywhere!! I wanted to show my fiance but I can't find it again. Anyone know where it is?
 
Wow, hiddenhollowherp, those are some amazing questions.

Maybe this "stupidest thing you've heard" can also include "funniest questions", I got to say, I laughed at most of them.

I thought it was hillarious that when I went to visit this thread, the ad above it was for "Satanic Jewelry" (see screenshot)

I just thought that was really ironic...

Not really, Ad info. online will "read" a forum and select appropriate adds to display. Just a few days ago there was a thread here where someone was complimenting another members lips, Jolie-like, anyway an add almost immediately appeared at the top of the thread for a co. that does lip injections or some such foolishness...just an FYI!
 
Gah, I don't want to think about that Jim! No killing cats! *shudders*

and that Satanic Jewlery thing is histarical. :)
 
Oh man, these are all crazy questions. @___@

I've never been asked any stupid questions about snakes, but I have heard plenty of fish related ones. I was on yahoo answers (that place is full of idiots, srsly) and someone asked if they could keep a betta with a goldfish, and someone told them "Of course, bettas and goldfish are in the same family." My response to that was actually taken down lol.

Oh, wouldn't that get some raised eyebrows! :p To be completely honest, it's more often than not the kids at school who ask me -- but it just floors me all the same because I know that so many of them see pregnant ladies (their moms!) around them all of the time! Where are our inferential skills, kiddos?! But, the *comment* that I hate most -- which I thankfully haven't heard virtually at all during my pregnancy thanks to being around mostly tactful people, I guess -- is, "You're so BIG!" Umm, yes, it's called being pregnant. :poke: The school nurse today decided to enlighten me with that one...my response was a very cold, "thanks."

(And I *know* that I'm not "so big" because I've only gained 29 lbb & I'm carrying completely in the front! It's hilarious when I startle people who are walking behind me & then I turn...and I hear a gasp of, "She's pregnant?!") :roflmao:
 
ok lol i have two:

one regarding corns from my dad- (more of a statement than a question though) Don't you think that your being horrible to that little snake. Your starving it only feeding it once a week. You know if you need money to buy more mice for the little guy, you don't have to let him starve.

I know he meant well but i couldn't help laughing, especially since i had given him my corm snake book to read before i got sam. I guess he didn't read it lol.

one from work- we had a table with a sale sign on it and one man walked up to me after looking at the table and preceded to ask me what i was trying to pull. Now i had no idea what he was talking about, so i asked him what he meant. He said that I was a crook for trying to trick him into buying a shirt for $14.99 when the tag CLEARLY said $29.99. i guess some people have never seen a sale sign before, and this guy really thought that i was trying to trick him into buying the shirt. :shrugs:
