completely obsessed with my BP!!! is it normal?

Obsession is perfectly normal *nods* That's my story and I'm stickin to it!

I'm so bad it's literally very very hard for me to hand Gomez over to someone else. Even Karen! He's hard to let go of, I love him so much. When a friend came over and gave him a cuddle I had a hand on him the whole time :rolleyes: I need therapy. Even aside from that, all the Medusa stuff, pictures, jewlery, dozens of photos of my boys... I need more snakey shirts tho... The parseltogue thing is too cute!

Aye, I thought the parseltongue shirt was funny. I'll have to keep my eyes open for one.

I was thinking of getting shirts made up with the following slogans. I'm probably not brave enough to wear one, mostly because the hillbillies I run with would never think such a shirt was odd enough to question.

"Wanna see my balls?"
"Wanna see my two-eyed snake?"
"My balls love small furry animals"

lol, those are funny alright!!... let me know where u find those, i might order some too.

i think im pretty normal compared to you guys thanx for making me feel better HAHAHA :P well, i think im falling down this path but i dont mind :)

i live with two roommates that give me crap everytime i come skipping out of my room to proudly gush that he ate, shed...etc or the fact when i leave to go visit my family i call my roommate to check up on my snake *cough* everyday... and i'll only be gone for two days...:omg:

You got that right! I got Kashmire as a pet in July '05. Now look at me! LOL

For those of you looking for the " I speak Parseltongue" t-shirt, I'm sorry they're all sold out on Hottopic.com. However, I did find this sticker:http://www.emerchandise.com/product/...TER/s.TAvzei8R

;) Temptress! All in good time... :P;)

I began collecting herps close to 30 years ago, and I'm just as passionate about them today as I was then, maybe even more.
I am a recognized expert in the town where I live, people come to me for advice on thier herps and I catch nuisence snakes for people when asked. Pet shops and even the local vets seek my knowledge on these animals because they know that no one is more passionate about these animals than I am.
Enjoy your scaley friends, show them off, educate people about them, and most of all, defend them from the fear expressed by society.
I nearly lost my life to an Eastern Diamondback in '91. Even when I was sure I was going to die, I never got mad or bitter at the animal that bit me, nor did I allow it to be killed. Someone has to stand up for these wonderful but highly mis-understood animals. After you watch some ignorant idiot kill a harmless Black Racer thinking it was a Cottonmouth, your obsession will be what drives you to educate people and defend these creatures.

Glad I read this thread! I had just surrendered to the fact I was nuts!
I to have a friend come in daily and check my baby even if I am only gone for the weekend.
And don't even be around me when I go on vacation. I call my friend and check temps, where in the cage Ozzy was etc. like twice a day.
When ever I visit family I always bring up my boy and I always get the uh-huh looks.
Thanks, you guys have let me know I am not alone!
