You know you are a herper when....

[daniel1983]

Everyone add your own "You know you are a herper when...." lines I think this can be kinda fun.

Here we go:


You know you are a herper when you excessively buy plastic tubs but don't ever intend to use them for storage.

You know you are a herper when you have a room in your house known as the 'reptile room'.

You know you are a herper when you don't find it disgusting to have frozen rats right next to the filet mignon in your freezer.

you know your a herper when you convince your kids they WANT pet rats instead of a puppy!

..when.. you buy food at the grocery store based on how nice a hide box the container it comes in would make.

..when.. your house is heated to 82 degrees.

You know you're a herper when....


- you buy bunnies and it's nowhere near easter

- you are more concerned with your breeder rats love life than your own

- you find out Wendy is expecting a new baby, turn from the computer and holler to your husband "hey honey, Wendy's gravid!!!"

- you actually follow Matt's (Smulkin) advice and inform your 4 year old the rats that are suspiciously "missing" have left home for rat college and other rat related lifestyles

- none of your friends ever ask anymore "so how are your snakes?"

Bahahaha! That is awesome!

It's true too.

I know I am far gone..

My burm is furnished with Lean Cuisine hide boxes, while my female anaconda has some chinese food trays.

The blood pythons have graduated to kitty litter pans, and the dumerils boa is the queen - furnished with a jumbo trash can.

---you could stay in the plastic storage isle of Wal-mart for hours, dreaming of the possibilities.

---when your relatives give you money they tell you: "Now, don't use this to buy rats!"

---at the end of the day, you go around and steal all the extra newspapers laying around at work

---you buy paper-towels in industrial quantities

---you buy baby food, not for a baby, but because you have hungry geckos at home

---you stand in the baby food isle, debating whether the geckos would like apricots or bananas better

I need to go out and grab a big kitty litter box for my big girl!


You know you are a herper when your neighbor knocks on your door to tell you she accepted your delivery of "Rodent Pro, frozen meat". It doesn't seem out of the ordinary to you but she is clearly disturbed by it.

-lobster roaches start to look cute.
-you go to the sporting goods store a lot to refill your Co2 bottle, yet you've never gone paintballing in your life.
