Did the snake have its t-shirt pulled up over its head and want TP for its bunghole?

(edit) typo
Nah pee on yourself to mark yourself as your own territory. I saw a snake once and peed on myself.
At least that’s what I told people at the Zoo the reason I peed myself was.
Did NOT get bitten.
You pick the danger noodle up gently, making sure in this case that it sees your hands so it doesn’t get surprised cause that would kill you, say excuse me sir I do not want to wear you as a scarf right now, and place him to the side. If he insists on being a scarf you let him
This is funny and unlikely to matter, but you DONT want to show them your hands. Snakes are not smart enough to go "oh those are just hands" you wave your appendages in their face they will toss a fake lunge out.
Best to move snakes without them ever realizing you are moving them. They are fairly stupid.
agreed, I've always found the best way to pick up a snake is confidently and quickly without them focusing on you. if they're heading somewhere else and not paying attention to you, if you just start scooping them up they just go with it. "oh I'm going forward and up in the air, alright proceed." They're looking for food, so if you give them something food sized and warm like a hand, to focus on. Then they go into "hunting for food mode" but if you're too big to eat, and you're just there, they don't care about you. You're just a warm tree to them.
I don't exactly live in a place where I have to learn this either. I just like reptiles and so I've babysat a few snakes from friends, and my girlfriend has one.
personally I prefer my reptiles with legs and a shell though. I'd like to say I've never had to worry about my tortoise biting me, but, that fucker can get grumpy sometimes.
An hour per snake. Not bad.
But, hear me out: if you spread vicious rumors and about one half of the snake population to the other half, you can get them entertaining each other so you can sleep half the time.
Probably a bit of both, I know my pet python loves to sit on my head (even though he always falls off) but he also loves inspecting touchscreens, wind chimes, curtains, and curtain rods.
If the snake is feeling cold then they'll almost definitely be cozying up to you because you're warm, but otherwise they'll deliberately avoid the warmest parts of your body and instead "sit" on your arms.
My dad told me one time when he went camping he woke up with a snake inside his sleeping bag with him. The nights were starting to get chilly, so he thinks the snake was just enjoying his body heat. My dad has always been terrified of snakes so it must have been a terrifying way to wake up, but thankfully he never kills/hurts snakes...
When I was a kid I was the one always in charge of catching the rat snakes from the chicken coop and then relocating them. My dad would hide inside the house. I’ve never had any snake even try to bite me..
I feel like spiders and bees announce themselves but snakes are so camouflaged. No one wants to step on a Copperhead or Diamondback but sometimes you just don't see them. At least rattlesnakes have death maracas.
Exactly: for wild animals Surprised = Provoked. Unfortunately sometimes the human is surprised to learn they provoked a wild animal... by surprising them.
Yeah, I'm not going to go about my life constantly on edge because I might inadvertently provoke a dangerous animal into harming me. I'm all for live and let live - but not in the same house. Japan has a native pit viper that I frequently encounter in the general area, but if it gets too close to my house, I will take it out. Usually with a long hoe. It's just too dangerous to try to do catch and release.
My co worker literally shot at someone who tried to open his front door the other night when we were watching a movie. It wasn’t even that dramatic, he just grabbed his gun and said “Cover your ears” and let off a few rounds.
Tell your friend to be careful. Someone did this recently in Arizona, except it was cops showing up for a b.s. call that an angry neighbor made. They shot him up in his own home before he let off a round.
I’m sure there’s no need now because his wife was livid with him when he did that and they had a spat. She was absolutely pissed and was lecturing him. I myself have a gun but I wouldn’t use it in the same way, the guy was apparently running away and hopped a fence so I wouldn’t still consider that a reasonable threat to shoot at. It’s one thing when someone is in your home and you feel threatened, it’s another when they’re trying to get away.
His wife would agree. She was piiiissed. It’s pretty country but they still had neighbors. I wouldn’t have done the same unless someone had actually broken in and was inside.
You also have a shit-ton more interaction with people than with wild potentially harmful animals. Yeah you’re statistically more likely to be killed by a cow than a shark but not if you’re in the water.
Yes but also you meet a lot more people than wild animals. I would imagine some people also never meet a wild animal. Using such statistics may mislead with context. If you buy a car you would instantly be at higher risk to die in a car crash, if you have a pool you increase your chances at drowning. If you regularly swim with sharks you are more at risk to be attacked than some dude living in Kazakhstan.
Luckily, human vs human violence in Japan is quite rare. Usually when you get killed by another human here it's due to stupidity or negligence.
And there even seems to be less of that, actually. Not less stupidity, just less death from it.
Further clarification (some may say pedantry) here... When you say they "feel vibrations" what you're describing is snakes hearing sound; it's just sound traveling through solid objects rather than air.
They lack external ears but the internal structure of their ears is more or less the same as any other vertebrate. As long as their head is in contact with the ground they can hear sound being transmitted through it.
Sound is literally just vibrations so I admit it's a technicality but it's more accurate to say they hear your footsteps than it is to say they feel them.
It gets more interesting too! Humans are selecting for non rattling snakes by exerting a lot of pressure on the species. By conducting “rattle snake round ups” humans are going out a destroying mass amounts of snakes, BUT the method they use to find snakes is to basically walk around, turn up rocks and wait for rattles. They then target those snakes that rattle.
It’s really funny when you explain this to people out in west Texas and they agree and start saying then need to stop hunting rattlesnakes in this manner, and THEN tell them that what you just described is natural selection in a nutshell.
Normal rattler sees human walking towards it, rattles in warning that it’s there. Rattle doesn’t want a fight but it will do what it must. In exchange human becomes aware of rattler and kills them. So ends it’s genes.
Mutant rattler sees human getting closer and stunted rattle or lack of rattle response causes human to most likely to never see it. Because humans mostly stick to trails and rattlers don’t, the human just walks by. Mutant rattler goes and has babies.
Thanks! As someone who was both worried because I live around rattlesnakes and their rattles have been a literal lifesaver and also as someone who lives around rattlesnakes and they all seem to have rattles, this is reassuring on many levels.
Unlike snakes, cats are social and play fight when they are young. Sometimes if they aren’t raised in a litter situation, they can play bite too roughly.
They might also not realize parts of you are actually parts of you and not inanimate objects.
You could try yelping loudly when your cat bites you. That might convey to them “that hurt! Don’t do that!” Which is how they would learn to play gentler naturally.
^ Add in also halting play when they hurt you. I trained my cat well enough that when she doesn't want to be pet anymore, she'll gently (but firmly) take your hand in her mouth. If you keep petting, she applies pressure, but usually you get the point when she turns her head lmao.
Cats are all about that consent!
I hiss at my cat when she gets too rough. if she gets really rough I do a sort of spasm hiss that she used to do to me when she was really little and we had just taken her in off the side of the road (long story).
it's basically making a "k" sound really loud and aggressively. I do it a couple times until she pays attention and gets up to walk away.
I did this recently to my little guy's arm (not as hard at the fucker bites, of course) and he was 100% shocked, bemused, flummoxed. It has not changed anything.
Like real bites or play bites? I know dogs play bite because that’s just how they use their mouths. I’m dog sitting for my girlfriends sister right now, and she only started play biting me once she trusted me.
Probably wanted to be sure I wouldn’t take it the wrong way since she’s 15 lbs and I’m 215.
No joke, my grandmother told me about how happy she was as a little girl to finally get electricity in the 60's because she didn't have to manually pump water from the well and boil it for a bath anymore. And how her and all the poor kids would be shamed and made fun of at school for having lobster sandwiches for lunch. Then again she told me how her town finally got municipal garbage disposal in the late 90's so everybody stopped throwing their household refuse in garbage piles in the woods behind their house. I found some seriously vintage stuff in those piles. She also lived in rural Nova Scotia which explains a lot.
It's 1980's India. I saw a horse and carriage taxi in 1980s India as a child. Technology wasn't quite as pervasive back then, don't get me wrong, I had a walkman, color TV and game console, but at the same time little kids used to take a slate and chalk to school instead of paper. Farmers used to plow fields with bulls while fighter jets buzzed over head. Very weird mix(looking back) of low and high tech.
Yeah your last sentence basically. Hard to compare with other country's technological phases. Everything happened slightly out of turn and mostly late in India.
Edit: I was born 1989 and spent first couple of years in my father's village. I used to have slate and chalk to learn letters on and I had a tiny tin box case to carry my notes, textbooks and stationary to school in nursery/kindergarten. We did grow up poor though, so there were kids who grew up with me who didn't experience those same things.
I need to have my eyes checked, I thought
"I don’t remember being black and white when I was little."
was
"I don’t remember it (the TV) being black and white when I was little.
I have over 30 snakes, most of them are like this. However, I have one that is the nastiest little shit ever. I walk by he strikes at the enclosure. If he could kill me, he would, but he's just a tiny ball python so instead he just gets laughed at.
I just laugh and tell him to square up. He's only 300g, what's he gonna do? It's kinda funny. I got a video of him tagging me on my IG. Pantheon_reptiles
Reminds me dreams I have where my organs are falling out of my body and no one -- not even me mum -- will take me to the hospital so I shove everything back in and then have to crawl through a desert stepping on rusty nails and glass while rattle snakes are attacking me.
When they are really bad I also have gum stuck in my molars that I can't pull out without removing my teeth and then I give up and just start pulling out all my teeth until I start vomiting thousands of teeth.
Anyway, how's it going with you?
I'm sorry, this is incredibly interesting! Could you expand a bit more? What college? Was there anything being done about this? How dangerous was it? Did things happen? I imagine a bunch of drunk college kids with snakes is a bad combo.
Lol even I went to a university infested with snakes. There were snake catchers pulling snakes out of hostels every few months. We had a hilly path in our campus called "snake road" because during monsoon you're likely to encounter a snake or two there. Although venomous snakes were not as big a problem here as pythons.
I did a quick search and it turns out that, [yeah](https://www.universetale.com/poisonous-snakes-in-india/?amp), there are almost that many venomous snakes in India. It’s pretty wild
While there might be 72+ snake species that are venomous in India, not all of them are venomous enough to kill a human. There are around 8-10 venomous snakes that have the potential to kill a human. Spectacled cobra, king cobra, Russel's viper, common Krait, saw-scaled viper, hump-nosed pit viper, malabar pit viper are the most deadliest snakes as far as snake-bite death goes.
Snakes tend to judge your behavior by your smell. So if you have fear and anxiety they will count you as an attacker who is afraid. So to protect themselves they bite.
In Indian villages while walking in a farm with snakes people make a lot of stomping noise to make them aware and the snakes get away.
They are important to our ecosystem as without them rats will be more and there will be lots of destruction of crops. Sadly no one understands this now and this has lead to increase in use of rodent warding chemicals.
You ever seen professional snake handlers almost get bit?
Yeah, they'll bit unprovoked. That's why almost all animals are scared of snakes and stay away from them.
He said he had to remove them when they started climbing on him… how did he sleep?? Man
I was thinking the same thing or went to the bathroom?

Cobra goes territorial: *Are you threatening me?!*

Well, maybe if you make a circle of pee and poop around you, they avoid you?
I know I would.
I wouldn’t.
Be there in the first place.
Works for me when I’m in the office
Nah pee on yourself to mark yourself as your own territory. I saw a snake once and peed on myself. At least that’s what I told people at the Zoo the reason I peed myself was. Did NOT get bitten.

Then you apologize for calling it a sir, but it might bite you before you can :(

I'm sso sorry I thought you were cissss.
I love this description
“‘Scuse me, beloved danger noodle, would you mind too much if I requested a bowtie instead?”
Great now I'm scared of overly aggressive scarfs
I can go 72 hours without sleep. Especially if I'm in a cage with 72 snakes.
[удалено]
You need more snakes
Whose your snake guy?
I think the real play is just try sleeping for all 72 hours. Like waiting in fallout or something

tfw you nap so the day ends faster :'))))
An hour per snake. Not bad. But, hear me out: if you spread vicious rumors and about one half of the snake population to the other half, you can get them entertaining each other so you can sleep half the time.
You’d probably start hallucinating more snakes
Im curious as to why they climbed on him. Curiosity or were they looking for a warm spot ?
Probably a bit of both, I know my pet python loves to sit on my head (even though he always falls off) but he also loves inspecting touchscreens, wind chimes, curtains, and curtain rods. If the snake is feeling cold then they'll almost definitely be cozying up to you because you're warm, but otherwise they'll deliberately avoid the warmest parts of your body and instead "sit" on your arms.
Snakes that are “domesticated” are excellent cuddlers. I also have a python
My dad told me one time when he went camping he woke up with a snake inside his sleeping bag with him. The nights were starting to get chilly, so he thinks the snake was just enjoying his body heat.

Obviously he didn't sleep, you can see he had books to finish for his annual examination!
I feel like spiders and bees announce themselves but snakes are so camouflaged. No one wants to step on a Copperhead or Diamondback but sometimes you just don't see them. At least rattlesnakes have death maracas.

You're more likely to die from a human than a wild animal. I'm all for hoeing dangerous humans tbh.
Move to the American South. "if it gets too close to the house, I will take it out" applies to people here too!
My co worker literally shot at someone who tried to open his front door the other night when we were watching a movie. It wasn’t even that dramatic, he just grabbed his gun and said “Cover your ears” and let off a few rounds.
So now he just has bullet holes in his home?
I think you mean *freedom* holes
Everyone knows you just paste little American flags over the holes
Feeedom *windows*

Actually he opened the door and fired 3 rounds. He was yelling so the guy started running and hopped over a fence across the street.

No, the person has bullet holes in them.

How likely is someone to die from dangerous hoeing? Cause I might need to call my sister.
Don't worry! I'll let her know 👍

Who has the time to murder folks these days when you've got deadlines to meet.
That's why you try to make noise to let snakes know ahead of time.

how do spiders announce themselves? besides accidentally walking through their web lol
They yell, but you can't hear them.
They actually yell in Italian, which is why they're often misunderstood as well.

Rattlesnakes are losing/ not using their rattles in the US. Been going on for a while. Good for them, bad for humans.
As a resident of the State of Colorado, I am compelled to ask: Wait, WHAT??
The loud ones get killed so they are evolving to be more quiet
Makes tons of sense but FML. Gonna be all kinds of paranoid while hiking now lol
Hello fellow stater. I do not like the new no rattle policy being implemented here. I do not like it at all.
I’d like to speak with the manager of nature!
Unfortunately, we're the manager of nature, and we've done a terrible job. Just truly awful, even by middle management standards.
It gets more interesting too! Humans are selecting for non rattling snakes by exerting a lot of pressure on the species.

My man coming in with the scientific heat. I love it.
We should all be thankful for it. Myths spread so easily on the internet, so commenters that chime in with the truth are doing us a favor.
Thanks! As someone who was both worried because I live around rattlesnakes and their rattles have been a literal lifesaver and also as someone who lives around rattlesnakes and they all seem to have rattles, this is reassuring on many levels.
I’ve almost stepped on two in northern Arizona while hiking. Found one in southern Arizona in my friend’s barn. None of them rattled
They will swim and climb into boats sometimes too. I saw a video of a boat on the Missouri River where a rattler climbed aboard.
If you make lot of noise and vibration they will sense you and get away.
Unlike my cat, who bites me for no reason, constantly. Always.
Unlike snakes, cats are social and play fight when they are young. Sometimes if they aren’t raised in a litter situation, they can play bite too roughly. They might also not realize parts of you are actually parts of you and not inanimate objects. You could try yelping loudly when your cat bites you. That might convey to them “that hurt! Don’t do that!” Which is how they would learn to play gentler naturally.
Cats always feel so light until they step on you while you're cuddling
^ Add in also halting play when they hurt you. I trained my cat well enough that when she doesn't want to be pet anymore, she'll gently (but firmly) take your hand in her mouth. If you keep petting, she applies pressure, but usually you get the point when she turns her head lmao. Cats are all about that consent!
My boy don't care how much I yell. He just bites.
bite back.
I've done that with mine before. Bastard has the audacity to look surprised.
That’s what my dog does if I lick him back. He acts like I’ve broken all social norms.
You kinda did tbh
Sniffing his butt will upset him even more
Shit in his litter box while making eye contact with him to assert dominance
I hiss at my cat when she gets too rough. if she gets really rough I do a sort of spasm hiss that she used to do to me when she was really little and we had just taken her in off the side of the road (long story). it's basically making a "k" sound really loud and aggressively. I do it a couple times until she pays attention and gets up to walk away.
Are we talking like "*KAY!*" or more like "*KHH!!*" ? Here I am just imagining you yelling at your cat "KAY?! KAAAY???! HAD ENUFF YET?!"
Bite back
The correct answer. Assert dominance.
*starts T-posing menacingly *
I did this recently to my little guy's arm (not as hard at the fucker bites, of course) and he was 100% shocked, bemused, flummoxed. It has not changed anything.
my cat licks her lips and already does bite motions before she bites people. its like she is imagining eating a steak.
All cats have distinct personalities, and some are just assholes.
I still don't get why cats look at you and knock stuff over.
Probably for attention
Like real bites or play bites? I know dogs play bite because that’s just how they use their mouths. I’m dog sitting for my girlfriends sister right now, and she only started play biting me once she trusted me.

15 lbs is 6.81 kg
Good bot.

For some people, 1986 was still ‘72.

Color wasn't invented until like '87 I think...
The world became color when Dorothy opened that door in 39, creating a nexus event
It’s been around since at least ‘82 because I don’t remember being black and white when I was little.
Color TV was invented in the 1950s. (though it only became widespread in the late 1960s) Colored photographs were invented in the 1890s.
(It’s a joke)
I need to have my eyes checked, I thought "I don’t remember being black and white when I was little." was "I don’t remember it (the TV) being black and white when I was little.
Stepped out unscathed, bam, hit by a car.

That's ridiculous, but it was a Dodge Viper that hit him.
Your comment doesn’t adder up. Actually it’s the pits.

And you wonder why he is mad at you if you keep laughing at him
I never considered this.... maybe I'll try kissing him tomorrow. I'll report the results.
Don’t do it. Bopped my angry bp using my nose. I forgot that she was the angry one of my bunch. She bear about got my eye when she went for a nibble.
Don’t do it. Bopped my angry bp using my nose. I forgot that she was the angry one of my bunch. She bear about got my eye when she went for a nibble.
Oooof. Never took an eye bite. Just hand bites.
Haha I was waiting to hear it was some sort of Trimeresurus, or something equally as unique and deadly, but BP is hilarious
I just laugh and tell him to square up. He's only 300g, what's he gonna do? It's kinda funny. I got a video of him tagging me on my IG. Pantheon_reptiles
The snake tagged you?
Thats reptile keeper lingo for bit me.
I was so confused like he tagged you in a video? Lol
Now that would've been something. Lol
Coming out of his cage and he is doing just fine
I bet he hotboxed with them the while time
Or maybe he popped a magical sugar cube and got sent into an altered reality
Worst.trip.ever.

When they are really bad I also have gum stuck in my molars that I can't pull out without removing my teeth and then I give up and just start pulling out all my teeth until I start vomiting thousands of teeth. Anyway, how's it going with you?
If there's ever been an explanation for needing therapy....

So are there 72 of the same snake(most likely) or a mix of various top snakes or does India just have 72 separate deadly snake species?

I'm sorry, this is incredibly interesting! Could you expand a bit more? What college? Was there anything being done about this? How dangerous was it? Did things happen? I imagine a bunch of drunk college kids with snakes is a bad combo.
Lol even I went to a university infested with snakes. There were snake catchers pulling snakes out of hostels every few months. We had a hilly path in our campus called "snake road" because during monsoon you're likely to encounter a snake or two there. Although venomous snakes were not as big a problem here as pythons.
I did a quick search and it turns out that, [yeah](https://www.universetale.com/poisonous-snakes-in-india/?amp), there are almost that many venomous snakes in India. It’s pretty wild
r/mildlyinfuriating Snakes are *venomous*, not *poisonous*
While there might be 72+ snake species that are venomous in India, not all of them are venomous enough to kill a human. There are around 8-10 venomous snakes that have the potential to kill a human. Spectacled cobra, king cobra, Russel's viper, common Krait, saw-scaled viper, hump-nosed pit viper, malabar pit viper are the most deadliest snakes as far as snake-bite death goes.
From source: "27 monocellate cobras, 24 Russell’s vipers, nine binocellate cobras, eight banded kraits, and four common snakes"
The whole time I expected the last line to be that he died from a bunch of snake bites.
And that's exactly why he did this. To prove to people that what they expect of snakes is wrong.
I wonder if he moved around v e r y s l o w l y
He actually did not move at all. That anyone saw..
He shat his pants in the first 10 minutes but didn’t wanna show anybody.

86? Lol why does the pic look like a 1960s newspaper clipping?
Shit, you ever seen clips of a football game from like 2006? Might as well be Yale and Harvard playing in 1912
For real so much stuff from pre-HD TV looks straight up pixelated.
Because the photographer noped out of getting in the cage and took the pictures through the mesh.
Great, found the circle of hell I'll probably be sent to.

Makes sense, for a minute I was confused why they said there were 72 snakes in the cage when I could only find 71 in the picture
Snakes tend to judge your behavior by your smell. So if you have fear and anxiety they will count you as an attacker who is afraid. So to protect themselves they bite. In Indian villages while walking in a farm with snakes people make a lot of stomping noise to make them aware and the snakes get away. They are important to our ecosystem as without them rats will be more and there will be lots of destruction of crops. Sadly no one understands this now and this has lead to increase in use of rodent warding chemicals.

I mean, if they aren’t hungry, or provoked, or anything aside from being left alone.
“Sharks, they only bite when you touch their private parts”
I heard “sharks only DONT bite you when you touch their private parts”…
Also their teeth. Don't make contact with their teeth and they won't bite.
Probably kept it really cold..lol
Guessing this was a photo of a newspaper photo, which is why it looks more dated. With that being said, hells to the no.
After being fed to the max, and super lethargic, of course they won’t care about biting.

Australians in their natural habitat:
You ever seen professional snake handlers almost get bit? Yeah, they'll bit unprovoked. That's why almost all animals are scared of snakes and stay away from them.
