  1. lol random

    no

    how would they get milk??


  2. Yes, snakes do drink milk.

    (Psst, can you give me 10 points? I got only two.)

  3. Milk is for baby MAMMALS.  Snakes are reptiles.

    Even milk snakes don't drink milk.

  4. Snakes require fresh water available. You may not seem your snake drink often, but the water should be there regardless.

    So they do drink. But pouring milk on their head may not be their idea of fun time. Probably they suffer when we do that.


  5. No

  6. Yes, they like to dip Oreo's.

  7. No they don't drink milk.

  8. No snakes do not drink milk but we just believe it as we watch this scene in many films.But actually the truth is that-

    snakes do not drink milk,neither can digest it properly.they are reptiles

    and have no association with milk,only mammals with mammary glands can produce milk and thus, a liking for milk in non-mammals is not seen generally.However if severly thirsty they can drink any liquid(including milk)


  9. No, they don't drink milk.

    Snakes do drink water occasionally but not regularly and those who have seen it drinking are the one's who have happened to be there incidentally where the snake was unable to find any water and may have taken a sip or two of milk (certainly a diluted one). This has certainly strengthened this belief to such an extent that even educated people believe it though the snake did not like it much.

    It is a myth and some snake charmers take advantage of this myth.

    People worship snakes in India and snake charmers know this. All sorts of cruelties are forced on the snake to make it drink. It should be discouraged. Snake charmers should be discouraged too as it is illegal to keep snakes in India apart for certain reasons.

    There have been a few videos of it drinking milk and even wading in milk on news channel. But there is more to what seems the eye. The channel is more concerned for TRP than raising awareness about it.

    Now, in the first place how did the snake come in such a place. It could have been placed there perhaps by the media or by the priests of the temple to generate publicity ? A lot goes in places of worship !!

    Secondly even if it did take sip it must have been unable to find any water and to quench it thirst it must have done that.

    Thus end of discussion - SNAKES DON'T DRINK MILK.

  10. India is often called the land of snakes and is steeped in tradition regarding snakesSnakes are worshipped as gods even today with many women pouring milk on snake pits (despite snakes' aversion for milk

  11. YES.


  12. Yes, surely

  13. NO!! they only drink H2O. da myth of milksnakes drinking frm cows or any other myth where dat they injested something other than H2O & their prey is just that.... it's all a myth!

    i'll also tell u abt another myth that was belived in interiors of india & till 2day they practice these stuffs...

    it's called 'NAGAPANCHAMI PUJA' IN INDIA.

    it's like they say dat da charmers go around da countryside in search of snakes b4 da festival & aftr capturing them they remove their fangs & da mouth is then stiched 2gether so dat they don't eat or drink till da festival & on da day of da festival da stitches r wrenched out cruelly, so da snakes drink or eat whatever is kept in front of them.

    otherwise they don't drink milk b'coz they cannot digest it.

    so now u understand dat what they say dat snakes do drink milk is all nothing but myth!!! a big fat lie!!!

    in another way by saying this they r just torturing those poor animals!!!

  14. ya i think so

  15. yes, snake drink milk.you eat food for life as a snake want to milk for life.

  16. Snakes do not drink milk, neither can they digest it properly. They are reptiles and have no association with milk, only mammals who have mammary glands can produce milk and thus, a liking for milk in non mammals is unlikely. But in a crises when severely dehydrated, a snake might drink any liquid available.  

        


  17. Yes they can

  18. no snakes dont drink milk
