What I especially like is when you tell someone that you keep snakes, have experience and knowledge of snakes, they go into these outrageous unbelievable tales of their first hand experience...something about these 10 ft snakes, either Indigos or Rattlers, where none are found of course.

Is it instant insanity on their part just at the mention of the subject?

Do they think I'm an idiot? Does being gullible automatically go along with a certain knowledge of the subject?

I've always wondered what goes through a person's mind when they are swearing by absolute falsehoods to someone that would obviously know better.

Maybe it's just so incredible to them, anyone would be interested in the welfare of snakes, or keeping them for that matter, they just have to top that lie with a bigger one?
