this isn't even true

It kind of is, but it depends on the continent from what I have found. After looking around a bit, it seems that this wouldn't apply in Africa or other places. It's probably partially true, but I couldn't find out exactly what the conditions were.

But...

I am not snake expert, nor am I even snake smart. However, it seems that the best course of action is not to fuck around and find out.

This seems like a situation where being untrue in just one case makes the fact totally useless.

Yes? In another comment here, I posted a link from a government site that seemed to have a legitimate review. (That doesn't mean it's fact, of course.)

I am all about getting to the bottom of myths, actually.
