Snakes - Knowledge is power!

2025 is the year of the snake. So let’s dispel some of the many myths and misconceptions surrounding these amazing animals.

1. Snakes don’t measure their prey. They do not lay down next to people to measure their size. If you heard a story about someone who had a pet snake that was stretching out alongside its owner to size them up, it is a widely spread old wives tale. Which brings us to our second myth.

2. In many iterations of this story the snake in question stopped eating and a “vet” told the owner it was starving itself to make room for them. There are many reasons that snakes will stop eating. Making room for a large prey item is not one of them. Snakes are opportunistic predators and would prefer to eat smaller prey items that don’t pose a physical risk to themselves.

3. Snakes don’t unhinge their jaws. Their skulls and jaws are extremely flexible and can stretch to impressive sizes, but they don’t dislocate their jaws.

4. Baby venomous snakes(neonates) are not more dangerous than adults and venomous snakes are born with the ability to control their venom.

5. Constrictors like pythons and boas are not inherently dangerous pets. Fatalities from pet snakes are extremely rare freak accidents. People are more likely to be killed by a dog, or a cow, or a deer, or even a rodent.

6. Snake bites hardly ever get infected. The bacteria in their mouths do not statistically cause infected bites. Gently washing a bite with soap and water is all the appropriate first aid most snake bites require.

7. Snakes aren’t slimy. That would be frogs.

8. Snakes are not aggressive. They do not chase people. When a snake gets scared it can become defensive and put on a big show, but that’s only because so many other animals eat snakes and they think you are going to hurt or eat them.

9. The only good snake is an alive one. Protecting us from rodent borne illnesses which pose exponentially greater risks to people than snakes. Snakes are part of balanced ecosystems.
