Q: If I play with my snake too much will my palms grow fur?

Well, will they?!  The age-old six million dollar question...  Points go to the one who makes me laugh longest and hardest (that's what she said).

No, but it might make your snake regurgitate.

Only if you get your hands wet.....

If you're over 30 you grow calluses....

Prevention: for safe snake handling wear a glove....

Well, I play with mine an awful lot and have done so for many years and no fur yet. 

What?   You asked!

Brad, really, if your THAT bored you should go off to a quiet place somewhere and, uuuuhhhh, play with your snake.

LOL

No, fur will not grow, but you might want to check with state laws for the legal age of consent.

I'm not sure about if the age consent law applies but I'm pretty sure in most states it would be illegal to play with your snake in public.

John do you keep petroleum jelly on hand?

I thought it was god that killed the kittens? Or does he kill bearded dragons? I cant remember what i told Joseph Jenkins.

There are a lot of variations on who kills what, but either way, something, somewhere dies. lol

Nate, i do believe god kills cats and condros, he loves names that begin with "J"  like "Joseph" and "Jeff"  and he hates names that begin with "Na" and end with "te",  like "Nate"

You sure about that Joseph? The meaning of my birth name, Nathaniel, means "gift of or from God".

But there are already too many puppies.  Remember, that's why Bob Barker always reminded us to spay or neuter our pets =)

I disagree you can never have too many puppies...just like jeff can't have too many reptiles....or like theres no such things as playing with your snake too much...

Ich kann nicht glauben, dass Brad diese Frage… stellte, aber die Antworten bis jetzt mich Lachen gebildet haben! Brad, die Antwort ist kein weil Schlangen don' t haben Pelz, folglich Ihre Palmen won' t erhalten Pelz. Ich spiele mit meiner Schlange und meine Palmen sind fein. Nur ein Mann würde diese Frage stellen!

Its yours, you can wash it as much as you want.

Does it really matter if they grow fur? Your hands will always be a warm, soft place for your snake to explore.

Hahahahaha.  Brad, thanks for giving us something to laugh at.  This is all so very wrong, but I can always use a laugh.

and I love that the women have so much insight on "playing with our snakes".

Well... according to one story, it was a woman who encountered and interacted with the first snake.  Maybe that is why we've been dealing with them ever since! ahem.

Just some motherly advice: If you are going to play with your snake, keep it pointed away from your face. You could lose an eye.

Like the old saying goes, "It's all fun and games till someone loses an eye".

Not a lot of girth there though... ;D haha

Wow, I can't believe this is still going. XD

Perhaps Brad was told that its not about the size of his snake, but how it slithers.

Is this where the myth comes from that snakes are slimy?

Just remember to wash your hands when you're done.

I don't think your palms would grow fur, but I'm sure the outcome would be similarly correlated to this fine graph:


Oh, and one more thing...

Why does the amount of horse penises seen spike so dramatically?

Isn't that graph the greatest thing ever?  Every line makes me laugh... but I think the purple one is my favorite.

That is a pretty fantastic chart.  I was laughing so hard that by the end my hubby and my roommate had come to see what was wrong with me?!
