I can vouch for the different snake man-eater stories being absolutely 100% true as I was the person that got swallowed. It started off as a dare but turned into a popular party trick. 
But as you can see, it didn't put me off keeping snakes. |

When i said it was funny that people believe that story i meant funny/ridiculous, i have never had a python but when i heard about it i knew it was a load of rubbish, some urban myths can make you wonder, but not that one
No offence was taken |

Its funny but its also kinda sad theese silly urban myths are probably what puts off so many people getting snakes or allowing theyre kids to have them as pets

I wouldnt worry about pythons sizing you up, its the kingsnake that you need to worry about they will try and eat you without sizing you up |

Lol. I've also heard the escaped python sizing up food one. It was quoted to me by a bloke who thought all snakes were evil. Idiot. |

I saw it as my duty to tell her that. To have told her the truth and that it was only looking for somewhere dark and warm would've been wrong. :D
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Legend lol |

I used to hear this on average about once a week.
