You might be a herper if....
.....someone tells you they have 3 balls and you don't think that's weird!
.....you realize that bowl you are using to make chocolate mousse just had thawing mice in it a few minutes ago, and you don't care, and then you serve it to you friends without telling them!
.....when you see a snake crawl out of the bath tub drain while you are taking a shower, and you have to think for a moment about whether it's yours or not.
.....you cried at the end of Godzilla when they killed the big lizard. At least in Jurassic Park the dinosaurs survived!
.....you are trying to think of ways of marketing snake poop.
.....you give snakes as a birthday present to yourself. (excuses, excuses)
.....you recognize the smell of hatchling corn snakes
