You might have too many ball pythons if...

Happened last night:

When your spouse starts looking on Craigslist too for snakes. And her search includes the neigboring states!

When you start to list things you don't use or want on Ebay to raise money to buy another snake!

Oh and the best yet:

When you start to make moves on your wife and she responds only to abruptly stop you because the snake is out of it's hide (no pun intended) and she wants to see it!

The bonus question of the exam you just wrote is, "I am all white and have blue eyes what morph am I?" ;)

You want to go to London to buy a Guido Mocafico print.

You know who Guido Mocafico is with out following this link... ;)

- You've been blamed for a fart that really was the snake...

-You explain to your Dentist all of the other uses for chlorhexidine other than just mouthwash... :D

- You refer to your pregnant wife as "Gravid" and she thinks it is cute! (Guilty)
- You refer to your infant child as a your newest "Hatchling" and you wife thinks it is cute! (Guilty)
- Employees at your local pet store come to you (or call) for help with their reptiles instead of calling the vets (Guilty)
- You correct your local vet on an issue and he argues with you then you pull it up on your phone and prove him wrong! (Guilty)
- You go to a reptile show and your wife goes with you to "keep you sane" and ends up picking out a new snake. (Guilty)
- Your Wife gets just as excited about snakes laying eggs as you do! (Guilty)
- You shop for a new house and the biggest stipulation you give your wife is I get my snake room! (Guilty)
- People ask you if that is a real snake when you take one to the pet store. (Guilty)
- Your hope pages on firefox are iHerp, Kingsnake. Ball-pythons.net, and a craigs list search for ball pythons. (Guilty)
- You have two types of friends those that know about your snakes and those that dont! (Guilty)
- All your avatars on line are pictures of your snakes (Guilty)
- When your kids have no clue why some one would keep mice or rats as pets (Guilty)

True story!
I went to the store with my 6 year old daughter to get rodent food and she insists I get a new mouse wheel. At the check out and the cashier looks at the rodent food the wheel and asks if it is for hamsters. I reply no its for mice. She leans down and asks my daughter "Aww sweetie do you have pet mice?"
My Daughter looked at her like she was insane and said "Uh no ... we have pet snakes!"
The lady looked at me and I smiled :D and said "Yep 28 of them!"
She handed me my receipt and wouldn't even look at me!

It is moments like this that I love my daughter even more!:D

And I thought I was the only one who did that!

i didnt read all 6 pages so sorry if i stole yours...

your girlfriend has you decide between her and your snakes and you ask her not to slam the door on the way out (guilty just in a nicer way) =)

You might have too many ball pythons if...

You start taking your dates to motels rather to your house.... :D

-You have a contingency plan and can hide your entire collection in under 30 seconds in case your land lord knocks on the door.

I must know about this one! Luckily my current landlord has no issue with anything caged but for future! That is great!


Here's another one (True just happened to me last night LOL and ive only had my snake for 5 months!)

- When you go to the petstore and they hand you the keys to the rodent rack as you walk in and say "you know where the boxes are"

I love this thread but I had to add to the last one on this one.
- If you know what kind of gecko the geico gecko is. Lol. I have 2 of them.

You have too many snakes/ reptiles if you gave up on your landlord emergency plan Because there is just way too many to hide now. So you educate them.... Haha I did

Your Bf has never had experience with reptiles before you and now can name every morph. When pop quized. I want to have a breeding/ morph combo conversation with him sooo bad I pop quiz him with the snakes. Omg I'm awful

Your dog is totally ok with a snake around his neck. (for anyone who saw the cat and dog diary thread mine says: 3pm Snake on my neck! My favorite thing!! Rotfl)

Your hairdresser who is beyond terrified of snakes and every time I go to get my hair done asks before she starts if I have a snake in my purse. I brought one once and got her to hold it. But I think Shes still asks.

Ok that's all for now. This has def made me laugh.

 by far one of the funniest threads!
If the cops have ever come
To your house because they think your growing pot only to find
Out you are growing reptiles! Lol

- You've ever hired a home efficiency consultant (the people who look for drafts and energy loss in the home) to use their infra red camera to find an escaped snake

- You justify your hobby/addiction to friends and family as a side business

- You're a nervous wreck during a bad thunder/snow storm praying power won't go out. An add-on to this is if you start filling water bottles during a storm no matter the hour fearing a power outage (I was up a 3 this morning doing just that)

... your friend tells you they're going to [insert name of town in another state] on business, and you catch yourself saying they should totally check out [insert name of breeder who lives in that town/state].

... you have actually planned vacations/road trips around reptile shows.

When you have lots of snakes you have lots of rats ....... So
- as you walk around the grocery store you think " hmm I wonder if my rats will like that"
- when your eating and you have a piece of what ever left and your BF says " no no don't throw that away the rats will eat it"
