Does anyone have any snake myths out there? I was reading one of the Firefox books (there are 7 or 8 volumes now, based on folklore in the Virginia mountains) and here's what they said. There's a snake called a "hoop snake" which has a stinger on its tail. If it stings a tree the tree will be dead in 24 hours. Also, it can bite its tail, and roll down the hill like a hoop.

Pretty funny, huh?
