Do turtles fart?
(Question submitted by coolBettyann)
Yes, turtles do fart, and their farts smell incredibly bad, as do the farts of snakes. In fact, it is my opinion, based on personal experience with reptiles and not on any formal research, that many reptiles use farts as a weapon.
Reptile farts smell so bad that sometimes you can tell that one is nearby in the woods, even on a windy day, before you can see the animal. One day I was hiking through the woods in Arkansas with a friend and I told my friend, "I smell a snake fart." A second later, the snake crawled across the path. Astounding but true!
In an article published in the December 2000 issue of Discover, "the world's leading expert on snake sounds," Bruce Young of LaFayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, affirmed that snakes do fart. The sonoran coral snake and the western hook-nosed snake fart with an audible popping sound when disturbed.

Yeah most animals have to fart, otherwise the gas build up would make then blow up, just like when you give a pigeon peptol bismol.

Another funny thing about snakes is that most of them are right-handed.
O_o
Its true! Though I'm not going to explain how/why. But it does have something to do with a snakes atonomy, particulary in males.

Better yet, try it yourself ;) They don't actually 'explote' but their stomache expands until it bursts and well, yeah. I think its with peptol bismol, though it may be some other stomache medicine. Err, maybe you shouldn't try it...

If you've taken biology and have ever had to study lizard/snake reproductive systems, you can probably guess how snakes are right 'handed'. If not, you probably looke like this 0.o

Thats probably right, except the 'little' part. Its not my fault I know, you know who is to blame for my problems SCHOOL. They gave me a book with all these facts I didn't want to know, and told me I HAD to read it, and not only read it, STUDY it. What have I done to deserve such punishment, NOTHING. Its not fair :(

Then do what I do and don't read it. I learn all my knowledge through mistakes of myself and other people, watching anime that has antomic (sp?) logic to it (such as FMA, though that's a weak example, it's the only one I can think of that most people know off the bat), and watching porn.
