Myths about Snakes... and the Danger of Misinformation and Bias

Myths are powerful, but they can also be dangerous. Watch me constrict the life out of 7 popular myths about snakes and reveal the smooth underbelly scales of FACT!
Even some Reptile Keepers still propagate some of these myths! Can YOU bust all of them?
Myths about snakes can lead to demonization, irrational fears and anxiety... and even harsher consequences for the snakes themselves.
The more we know, the more we can appreciate, conserve and care for these incredible animals, and the more we can get from our interactions with them.
