This story.

Ok, I've heard this story TWICE from two different people who don't even know each other.

Here it is

This woman had a large snake (No one said what it was), she apparently had it out all the time and it slept in bed with her at night...
It was said that the snake had stopped eating and one morning she witnessed it stretching itself beside her in bed. So she called the vet and the vet told her that she urgently needed to get out of her room cause the snake was measuring her length compared to it's own so it could see if it could eat her...

NOW, I told these two people that this was a load of poop and both of them looked at me like I was an idiot and stated that "THE VET SAID SO"
I was like... "Gawd, who made up this dumb story...."

Has anyone else heard this? I was kinda shocked to hear it TWICE.

Ugh.

WOW. I have never heard that one before, lol! Sounds like a dumb urban legend, though. Have you tried to look it up on snopes yet?

[Ophiophilia]

No.

It seems so recent.
I swear if I hear it again though... lol Once was enough.

That is definitely an urban myth!!! I have heard this a few times, everyone claims the woman was a friend or a friend of a friend. Given the distance between yourself and myself and I'm pretty sure its a lie.
Although, if it was serious the woman very clearly needs her head examined. Why would you let a burm have full control of your house, apart from it being dangerous for the owner, I find it hard to believe that the house has all the temp and humidity requirements of a well set up viv!!!

I do this with beer. And I always win!

I heard this one like a year and some ago, and it still sounds like a fresh steamy load every time I hear it
