I am absolutely shocked with how many times I have had someone say they will escape and eat me. I say snake, they hear Anaconda (the film version). I just tell them I sleep with a knife just in case, lol.
Every since some crank wrote that far fetched book where snakes make people eat apples, snakes have had a bad reputation. They've come a long way since then though, did you know that when on a certain form of public air travel they suddenly become organised and more aggressive, seeking out violent interactions with humans, must be the pressure. |

I have to admit i was somewhat stunned by this comment bearing in mind poor Linguini is literally like a piece of spaghetti ( i've found bigger earthworms) but then my cartoon filter switched on at the thought of Linguini, who's terrified of my kids, doing somekind of ninja escape from his viv and getting up stairs and trying to eat them
That had me giggling sooo much! I also have had the 'snake lying next to a girl in bed to measure her for eating' story from a relative (by marriage I hasten to add, not a blood relative lol!!). Some reeeeeeally stoopid people out there 
Gmac, that T-shirt is superb! |

aw, just read through the thread. Hope you're okay now!
and as for the sizing up story, i think everyone has heard it lol.
It's just one of those things, people are prejudice towards snakes, because to people who have never handled/owned one, they are killers. its a shame really because most, if not all, snakes are more scared of us than we are them! and we could hurt them more easily than they us.
Most connotations of snakes are negative though, so I can sort of understand the prejudice.
My auntie came round today to see if i was okay after my break up, and it was the first time she had held a snake. She was worried at first and now she is practically in love with Espher!
And a33, as for throwing a spanner in the WORKS, id throw a spanner in the FACE of the person who said to the OP 'you've brought a killer under your roof!'
haha :D
Oh, and primrose, I think we are all crazy snake ladies (and men) on here, so dont worry about that

It's another well known fact that only people named Dave get eaten. So if you see a t-shirt with another name then they are telling porkies and spreading malicious dis-information.  |

I took Rubi to the shop to show a phobic/interested friend, and his boss was there, I have NEVER seen so much chaos in my life! Zacharia (phobic) had an initial panic, but ended up having photos with her :) was asking lots of questions and listening to what I was saying. All the while Salam, (the boss) was shouting at Zacharia for being so stupid touching a poisonous snake, and to watch the fangs! No matter what I told him he wouldn't listen, so now Rubi is barred from the shop while he's there. I never realised that these 'ideal first snake' were so life threatening, I mean with her poison and her gigantic fangs 
On the upside Zacharia listened to me and is slowly falling in love with Rubi |
