What myths should we cover in Part 2? Comment below!
Can you address the myth that turtles stay small for a very long time? I can't tell you how many times I have heard this! Drives me crazy!
You mentioned the eye being an indicator of it being venemous or not is false. Can the same be said about head shape? That snakes with an arrow shaped head are venomous?
7:15 Don't you mean "Myth-conceptions"?
Have you ever considered having a venomous snake 🐍
That snakes will chase you and seek you out to kill you. I mostly hear this about cottonmouths. Its ridiculous!
Who else doesn't own a snake, and still watches this channel every day of their lives?
I do!
- Congrats on 1 mil! So proud :)
-- Thank you guys so much for all the likes!
- Update, I got a snake! Hope you guys do too!
- 2 mil, wow, it feels like yesterday you were at 100k 🥺
Same
Meeeeeeeeee
me X3
Me
Get a snake already!
When you talked about the snake eating a rabbit my rabbit stopped moving and stared at me
Lol I have a rabbit too and my brother said “I wonder how you will taste in a soup” and she stares at him like “O.O”
Oof
It's measuring you to see if it could swallow you whole.
The betrayal
My snake: what will rabbit soup taste like.
My rabbit:0-0
That snakes don't feel pain because they're cold blooded.
I was reading about rattlesnake round-ups and the "rattle snake queen" used that as a justification for the cruelty of these animals.
It's heartbreaking that people think that.
Please tell me that someone bitchslapped her.
This is false.
Pain is caused by the Nervous System.
All Vertebrates have a Nervous system.
Those are the same people that justify dogfighting smh
@@JaelinBezel If somebody hasn't yet I'd gladly go over and do it myself
that woman that said that is cold hearted
The myth " sizing you up to eat you" I would have figured the snake was doing that either for the comfort of hugging against something , like they do walls, or for the warmth of the body I never would have thought they were "measuring" xD
"There's a warm log in this dark cover, I'ma sleep here!"
“Huh, this living human is warm, I’m going to lay next to it because it radiates heat so I can also be warm!”
“IT’S GOING TO EAT YOU” “KILL IT IT’S GOING TO KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP” “IT’S MEASURING UP AGAINST YOUR BODY TO SEE IF IT CAN HANDLE EATING YOU!!!”
@@skinman4207 The amount of people I've had to educate on this myth is nothing short of astonishing. It just goes to show just how little the average person knows about snakes and how perpetuated these media stereotypes also are. Only one person has tried to argue that large snakes can eat an average person after I told them the reality. Sure a super large snake could potentially swallow a smaller person if they went feet first, but that's extremely rare. It's generally only small children that could be at risk from being swallowed by a giant anaconda or burm/retic. It's nutty how many people believe that they size people up lol..
@@stfinalwrath omg ikr
I had actually heard this on animal planet which is actually the reason I believed in it for so long.
I think that the "sizing up their prey" myth comes from moms that don't want their kids to have cool pets like snakes, if I'm being honest. I told my mom I wanted a snake when I was younger and she told me that EXACT SAME story and made me scared of snakes for a good while actually. Glad your channel is spreading a good name for snekies!! They're just lil blelel noodles. Cute as buttons!
And the poisonous or mildy poisonous snakes are little poison spagget.
my mom and gramma tell the exact same story lol
Alessia Castonguay No way my mom told me the same story too 😔... with the extra that snakes can curse the house if they are kept in it for long enough
Any snake is a nope rope to me.. lol unless its 2 foot long or less with pretty colors in the grass, then i know im ok
sizing up makes actual sense, its gotta know if it can actually take the pray its looking at.

*Myth originates from snake charmers*
They sewed the snake's mouth, leaving an opening just for the tongue so the snake won't bite.
They told the audience that the snake stings with it's tongue so the show will be interesting.
_Of course, all of those snakes died..._
The Great Wolf poor things ):
Yeah, snake charmers used to do nasty things to snakes. They would take a nonvenomous snake and jab a couple porcupine quills into it's head to make it look like an eyelash viper for the show, and of course, said snake would die. They also would remove the fangs of venomous snakes I believe (I read about this a long time ago so I'm not 100% sure), which was also probably fatal and was certainly painful.
TrekkieGirl SuperNerd Jesus, I didn't realise it was that bad :(
@@allthingswildlifeyt1218 I found this article just now if you want to read further on the topic, I didn't really know anything about it other than what I said above that I read a long time ago so I'm learning too! www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/behind-scenes-brutality-snake-charming/
That's horrible. :( Humans can be so cruel.
Bart Simpson "Go ahead and touch him. He's not slimy, he's scaly"
Lisa, touches snake "Aaah! You lied! He IS slimy!"
Bart Simpson "That's because I soaked him SLIME! HAHAHA!"
Amazing how actually educational The Simpsons turned out to be.
@xXKandy_StudiosXx Idk, maybe those people who think that exclusivly hang around watermockisons and green anacondas. Lol
I just finished watching that episode
@01_Gummy_10 YES they still do. might be because its not being teached anywhere that snakes arent slimy. most people are really scared of snakes and dont even bother to educate themselves
I'm gonna start from the neck and make my way down.ohhh yeah then IM JUST GONNA GO TO TOWN

I’ve heard the measuring myth SO MANY TIMES.
My mom wouldn’t let me touch any snakes because of this. Now I can show her this video!
Yeah, the woman in the story's snake would just be content with mouses (I don't remember the names of feeding mouses/rats)
a creative name lol mice
i should too. my mom once told me of this story and i believed it until this o.o . I should give her the update lol
@@beetrootsoup3130, do... DO YOU MEAN MICE??
@@skinman4207 WHY R U YELLING
When I told my dad I wanted a snake he IMMEDIATELY told me the story of the sizing up snake. Like he actually believed that. So I quickly explained to him that that was the dumbest thing I've ever heard and here are the reasons why. Once I was done with the rant about how snakes eat he just kinda walked away. Then my mom told me later that she heard me telling him facts about snakes and that she was very impressed!... They still won't let me get a snake though. :(
Aww..I hope you get a snake when you move out! 🐍 ❤️
Yes
One time my mom went to a pet store to get a ball python for my cousin and she talked to a worker and stuff and when she reached in to pick a snake up the worker freaked out and my mom explained that it's okay, so she picked up a fancy ball python instead of a normal (which is twice the price as a normal) and my mom got it as the same price as a normal ball python bc the worker was too dumb and scared of snakes to realize that it was a fancy instead of normal. I laughed when my mom got home and told me the story. Sorry for making you read all this, I wasn't expecting it to be this long 😅
Anyways thank you for listening random person scrolling through the comments! u·ω·u
ah yes the negotiator LOL
haha that's funny
Very cool
based mom
Lol
I told my friend I love snakes and she said “but there so slimy”
Like no KaReN they dry bois
my mom and dad also said this lmao, they're just shiny tbh
Emma Firehunter Emily’s glasses are shiny tHey’RE sLImY aAAaaaaAaaAaAaAaAaAaAaaAA yeah people who misunderstand snakes are kinda stupid in snake fact logic
"Snakes are slimy." You have offended all of reptile kind.
They're actually kinda soft/velvety tbh
I'm weird in the way that I think snakes are really soft. They just feel so silky and smooth....
(And if they were slimy who cares? I'd love them anyway!)
THANK YOU for the "snakes measure up their prey" myth bebunked !
I get told this story every time I say to someone that I have snakes at home..
I’d read it years ago. Didn’t believe it then, but am glad she covered it.
I hear it all the time too. I just laugh.
Sarah Doty yeah, GASP! It’s online, therefore it MUST be true. Ugh...if it was true, wouldn’t the news be all over it, not just the internet?
same, all the time
What's worse is when they insist the hokey chain email is more authoritative than 15+ years of snake ownership.
I had never heard the tongue and tail stinging myth or the sizing up prey myth. Very interesting, I'd love another myth debunking video!! 🐍💖🐢
I’d never heard the tongue or tail stinging myth either, but I did read the one about the lady and her python...
I really hate the sizing up prey myth. Literally no sources to back it up but everyone uses it as an “argument” against snakes being kept as pets.
Wyvern Mom Cherche like I’ve heard it said, just because something’s on the internet doesn’t make it true. If it was actually true, it’d be all over the news and all...not just the internet.
Wyvern Mom Cherche and when I did read it online about the lady, I was very skeptical because I’d never heard it elsewhere.
I have. Someone told me the python myth and I straight up said as someone who has owned snakes for years that is not possible. "Well I read it online, you should look it up!" No, misinformed person. Just no.
The tongue one I've heard from neighbor kids plenty of times when doing a meet&greet with my snakes.
Me:talking to my dad about how I like snakes and how I want one as a pet.
Him: “but their so slimy”
Me: silently glares at him
Him:realizes he made the biggest mistake of his life
Me:rants about all the snake myths I can think up and how snakes aren’t slimy for the next hour
You have amazing dad
Mine won't accept that he is wrong
@@popolnocy it takes him a while but he does after a while
@@foxdemon5361 LOL my dad said the exact same thing and I showed him this video! than he said I made the biggest mistake riiiiiiight?
I luckily don't have to deal with that problem since my dad is a biologist and every chance he got in college to take a class on zoology he did.
lol
6:11 and 6:12 the turtle little saying ''There I did it''. ''I get treats now, right'' made me think that its just soooooo CUTE
Heard a pet shop worker tell a kid that a ball python doesn't have teeth😐
omg! pet shops only want to sell pets they dont care about the animal and they will say ANYTHING to get you to buy from them

Not a myth but a serious question: why isn't snake discovery not at a million subs yet!?
Dude, a year ago it was barely at a few thousand. It's right on the edge of a million now. How much quicker channel growth could anyone want?
@@EC2019 you gotta point my dude. However just a few thousand more... I'm so excited for that 1m celebration !
Ikr! I’ve been watching for a while now and keeping an eye on the sub count. I’m ready for a million
Mama Fishh
Because sadly so many people are scared of snakes 😭(like my friend XD)
But I love snakes
Boobs. Never any on show. When they are the subs come flooding,
3:41 wait seriously?! Even as a snake lover I always thought that was actually something that happened because my grandmother would always bring it up like there was a legit news report on it or something. Can't wait for the next time she mentions that story so I can debunk it for her lol. I love my grandma but she really needs to check where she gets her info from.
grandparents are stupid
Just remember that the elderly are gullible and a lot of scammers love to take advantage of that fact. She may have read that in a rag magazine and, sadly, yes, there are people who believe those because they’re printed media and no printed media would lie to them, right? I remember when the missing kidney urban legend was going around back in the earlier days of the internet and, again, people believed it because it was “printed” information. People can be gullible about a lot of things.
@@LL-tr5et They have their moments, but overall I'd say my grandma was a very intelligent lady
@@battlebear437 Very true
Sounds like you do, too ;)
What about this big myth: "All snakes are dangerous and will attack humans"?
xXKandy_StudiosXx V E RY T R U E
even if snakes aren't smart they sure are smarter than most humans
IMO, that comes from most people being unable to identify a snake at a glance.
Let's be real, most people who are not familiar with snakes probably wouldn't be able to tell if a snake is venomous or not, especially if it's big, brightly colored, or simply a species of snake they've never seen before.
Show someone a picture of a python (any kind), and ask them to identify the species + whether it's venomous or not. Chances are, they'd probably get the answer wrong, unless they or someone they know keeps snakes.
I think the Number 1 myth is snakes are always "aggressive". 99% of snakes only bite for food purposes or for defense. I HATE the saying " If it was a snake it would have bit me" because someone didn't see something in front of them. I try to explain to people that a snake is more scared of you (a giant 6ft tall monster predator from his level) and will run if given the chance. Humans defend themselves when threatened. Why would a snake be any different?
"If it were a snake it would have bit me" As in, it was close enough that a snake could have bitten them. If people are too close, a snake may defensively strike. So the saying isn't without some truth.
I have known very, very few genuinely mean noodles. All of the others were just scared or gave plenty of warning that they did not want to be interacted with.
I tell my family that garter snakes are cute,
But they don't believe me.
silly david, sneks have no legs so they cannot run!
@@AsTheStormRises I must say that Timber Rattlesnakes are like the Yellowjackets of snake kind. Like- it seems that they are angry about being alive.
I accidentally said that for a video once without including that not all venomous snakes have vertical pupils, and I got roasted
Good to see people not relying on my brain for accurate and clearly spoken information lol

Hehe
One of my favorite Snake myths:
Jormangandr.
.?
@@TacoIntrusion Also known as the Midgard Serpent, it's said to be so large that its body encircles the Earth.
I remember reading the pupil myth in a snake book when i was a little kid, and it was like "this is the truth!" And i was like "that's total crap, pythons don't have venom!!!!"
Most of these ive never heard, im losing faith in our countrys education. But i love the theme.
Does anyone else think that Boa looks cuddly?
That does indeed look like a cuddly snake

Can you please do a video on the Spider gene for ball pythons? There seems to be controversy surrounding the pattern
I’ve heard it’s been banned...
The pattern makes them have neurological issues the IHS banned breeding them in the UK
M_Meg I know it’s just been banned this year in the US. Are the neurological issues because of inbreeding?
@@battlebear437 it was banned by IHS in the UK, which means spuder bp's won't be allowed for sale at any IHS shows/events. Some people are speculating that this will roll into a van on private sale as well, but it is still legal to sell spider bp's privately.
The controversy is about the neurological effects on the animal. Spiders (along with many other single gene morohs and morph combos) have a neurological side effect called wobble. It can have very minimal effect on the animal's quality of life or it can cause severe issues like chronic stargazing or the inability to effectively stike prey. Wobble can increase or decrease in severity throughout the snake's life and cannot be line bred to reduce or eliminate the effect.
Personally, I think it is silly to ban one gene for wobble when others have it. Spider gets a bad rap because it is the oldest, most common gene with wobble, but some combos can have effects, like kinking, that require euthanasia if they aren't fatal (champagne x spider is one of a handful that is a fatal combo), and there is no controversy about those. 🙄
Brian Barczyk covered that recently.

That myth prob also originates from how they look. My friend (she’s scared of snakes) thinks they look wet or moist but they actually don’t feel like that.
Actually I touched a snake and it was slimy, I don't know what kind of snake is but I just touch one snake in my entire life
@@alejandrobonillabalderas5629 I think your hands were probably just moist, I've heard before that if you touch a snake before and it feels slimey its probably just you, but you can double check that it was a while ago
the myth about the vertical pupils meaning venomous probably comes from central europe
I live in Germany and for all the 6-7 native snake species here it is true that coincidently all the venomous have vertical eyes and the non venomous have round eyes
so it is an easy way of seeing if it is a dangerous one or not for people who otherwise don't know much about snakes and reptiles in general... as long as they really are just local ones
If I am close enough to see if it has round or vertical pupils and I am not sure if it is a dangerous snake, I am too f*cking close :D
I was so excited when I saw my first grass snakes (Ringelnattern) years ago
Thanks for sharing! Old local wisdoms becoming widespread misconceptions is a common base for a lot of modern myths, it seems.
The only venomous snake here is the common viper, so it's quite easy to recognize, luckily.
Here in Italy is true too
IISheireenII it’s the same where I live. It’s helpful If you’re trying to identify local snakes but it’s not good to say for everywhere!
3:19 , i wanted a snake and my mom and my siblings keep saying that snakes will measure up like in the story and when i said it's a myth , she scolded me for refusing to believe the story . I'm not a kid anymore and i know that it's not true :( I'm having a mental breakdown rn and watched this video again. it's okay emily, i believe you :) and i will always support you no matter what .
Dang my mom told me the story of the snake “measuring” its owner
Everything is a lie
Thanks so much for debunking all these snake myths. I love snakes and think they are awesome (and really adorable with the little fork tongue, and how they like to hide with just the head poking out it’s like, WE CAN SEE YOU, YA ADORABLE DANGER NOODLE!) but I still adore how you are so fearless with your snakes, and I just think it’s really awesome!

I would just like to point out that turtles and tortoises actually do not have a diaphragm. Their internal organs are all situated in what's called a "coelemic cavity". While being upside down won't instantly suffocate a turtle, it does lead to a much higher risk of respiratory infection
thought the same thing. reptiles dont have a diaphragm.
Scene: a hognose slides next to a toad.
Hognose: hey toad can you stand still, I need to know if I can eat you.
Toad: sure.
Hognose: k thanks now get in my gob you delicious amphibian.
Toad: Nuuuuuuu!
Hognose: BUUUURRRP!

I once heard an exotic pet shop owner tell a family of four that garter snakes are very venemous and extremely agressive, in order to sell them a more expensive snake. The family was quite upset when I told them the truth and the owner of the pet shop forbid me to ever come back.
i recently read that they are in fact venomous, it's just such a weak venom that it doesnt affect most humans. not sure if that's true though.
@@chair362 Some species do possess a mild neurotoxic venom. However, it is not dangerous to most humans. It is about equal to a bee sting, it can however be dangerous if you're allergic to the venom. I am very allergetic to bees and are in a higher risk than some others might be. This does not quilify garter snakes to be "very venemous" since the venom is only dangerous to people who are allergic. I informed the family of this too.
@@Kronby1 right, i shoulda added i knew they were not very venomous, what sucks about venom, be it bee or snake or what ever is, as far as i know you only find out if it will kill you after you've been injected.
i have never to my knowledge been stung by a bee so i have no clue if i am allergic.
If you want to hear a stupid snake myth, in one of the episodes of the radio drama _The_ _Shadow,_ a murderer told a bafflingly stupid tale about his wife's encounter with a rattle snake: The snake had one tooth, it shot it's one tooth like a gun, the tooth bullet fully detached from the snake's mouth and killed the woman at great distance....
ObeyBunny I laughed too hard at this
When I was a kid, a children's science museum had a boa of some kind (can't remember the specific subspecies) that they had rescued. Her name was Buttercup, and rather than being slimy, her skin was extremely smooth.
7:02 "Instead, he's just muscle."
BUFF SNAKE!
*_B U F F_*
*S T R O N K*
this isn't a myth but this drives me crazy. Someone asking me
"Oh, is your snake poisonous?"
*Inner rage silently building* "No."
i dont have snakes (yet) but im very annoyed when people call snakes poisonous when they mean venomous. i always correct them. in a nice manner.
But I mean, snakes can be poisonous too.. Probably not those kept as pets though :D (yeah I know what you meant, just wanted to bring that out there).
I know I'm late, but next time tell them "I don't know, I haven't bitten it yet"
My grandma used to believe snakes dind't have bones untill I spent a few hours explaining it to her.
She also believes not just snakes, every reptile is slimy.
The way the tortoise looked at her after the second time was like Why you do that? Do it again, I dare you!
2:34 When I was little, I used to think rattlesnakes sting with their rattle... XD
Oh my god I feel so DUPED. My favorite teacher from grade school told me the exact story of her "friend" whose snake stopped eating in preparation to vore her. Until this exact second I believed that story wholeheartedly. I am 21 years old.
I have named my new leopard gecko after Rex.
I love this channel so much you guys are amazing
My 50 year old unkle beleives the "snakes sizing up their prey" and justified it by saying "snakes live in the trees. They stretch out in the branches".... He also said snakes never stop growing as long as you feed them . he said all this cus i said i wanted a pet snake when i move out.
That python in the bed story really gets on my nerves. I own 2 cornsnakes and I have been asked if I'm worried they will size me up 😂
I love when you said their tongue is just a tongue, the snake stuck it's tongue out XD
Had to share this video. So many of my relatives believe the myth about only venomous snakes have slit pupils and the sizing up myth. Thank you for the educational videos!
omg the sizing up story was fake? that had always scared me every time I thought of owning a snake. this kind of changes everything now...
I think that the story about the python measuring if it can eat a prey item like a human probably came from a snake-fearing parent trying to convince their snake-loving child not to get a pet snake.

i would love to see you do a video on brumation! snake, lizard, gator, frog; an all around explanation would be awesome! i recently saw a clip on our local news station regarding some alligators that froze in the water with their snouts sticking out. well i didn’t see the entire clip or hear it very well either, so i spent the entire day thinking 16 alligators froze to death due to global warming somewhere it normally doesn’t freeze 😂😭 i later googled the article to fact check and found out they were just going into brumation! i love reptiles and would love to learn more about this subject from you, ed, and your scaly kids 💖
"Feets"--we all heard it. Turtles have feets, plural plural.

Hey I just want to know why the red sided garter snakes are black with blue stripes in captivity but are red with blue stripes in the wild
Could be the morph of those that are captive bred or even a different subspecies of that garter snake...
It's just a naturally occurring morph that someone bred more of. Much like bullsnakes can be normal or they can be hypo, or axanthic or albino. Same snake and species just a different color mark.
Enjoyed this and all the vids I've seen so far; compared to other's snake videos who come across as show-offs that make it all about themselves. Through your commentary and sharing of facts, I have actually grown more fond of snakes and have more of a respect and appreciation of these fascinating creatures. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
I really like your videos! They're very informative with a hint of humor and I love it. It's also kind of satisfying to see them eat somehow. I tell my mom about these videos, and she gets disgusted and stuff 😂 But even so, I really like these videos 💜💜💜

I've never heard the stinging one, I didn't know anyone thought that
What about coral snakes and "red touches black venom lack", the farther south you go, the less true it is, also, they can be very dangerous, but are usually very shy. Another one is that there are only Constrictors, and Venomous Snakes, forgetting Indigos and such.
im SO happy you made this video, i was trying to explain to my aunt these points a little while ago and i was skimming your channel for a vid like this
I loved this video, thank you! Doug is so awesome too, he just curled up and chilled. He's making me less creeped out and uncomfortable about really big snakes!
