I think you're stalking me - those two examples are me exactly. XD

- When all your friends think you're well versed in world politics due to the stacks of newspaper you have around the house, when in fact the only time you bothered to read them is to tell a snake, "You get to read the funny pages today!"
- When rodents are a form of currency
- When the cashiers at Big Lots start giving you awkward looks when they realize that you bought 5 sterilite tubs and 5 ceramic bowls the last time you were in.. and.. come to think of it, the last two times before that too.

When you sleep in your car in the SC summer heat in a Hampton Suites parking garage 6 hours from home because you want to save your money for the Myrtle Beach show the next day and not waste it on a hotel room instead of buying that one extra snake. haha yeah.. not even kidding and the car is a Mustang Gt and im 6'1''... you do the math
-
You bring home your first beautiful BP and your 15 yo daughter proclaims her love and affection for it and steals it from you. Sigh. Guess I'll have to get the ghost morph for my self maybe. Lol

Re: You know you're a real BP owner when....
-You consider it "normal" when your pet refuses to eat for several months.
-You consider being pooped or pee'd on as a sign of affection.
-You are proud to share photos of the monstrous poo that your snake had been holding on to for quite some time.
Geez! we are a demented community. Oh, and one more:
-You discover that your little snake can fart louder than you can...:fart:
-
When you come running from your reptile room holding the biggest BP turd you've ever seen with a ear to ear grin to show whoever will look.

Bahaha! I've done exactly that a few times with my pastel female :rofl: I post it on facebook and text it to my boyfriend with excited messages along the lines of "SHE FINALLY POOPED! Look at the size of that thing!"
Oh! And you know you're a ball python owner when you're looking for something to eat for dinner under the piles of dead rats in the freezer :P

You leave a bowl of water in the guest room shower with talcum powder sprinkled around it, because you figure sooner or later somebody will escape again and there's no point cleaning it up.

Re: You know you're a real BP owner when....
-You try to convince your parents to letting you breed rats in there home.
-mom doesn't ask you, 30 year old son to move out, because her mom away. (same thing with step dad who hates snake).
-You want to breed rats and you only one 2 snakes, because you know you can raise the money to get more.
-when you tell your mom your not having kids, and that if her dogs our your brothers, the snakes are her grandkids.
-Well this is all more for snake owner in general, but Hollywood movies like all the Anaconda movies and Boa vs Python pisses you off because its no where close to the truth.
-
Re: You know you're a real BP owner when....
You get the latest addition out of your collection and hold it on your lap cause the kids won't beleive you when you tell the that stink is coming from the dog again.

Ain't that the truth! :rofl:

you rather save money to get a snake than go out to movies with friends or family.
The local police have you programed into their cell phones for reptile related calls.
you sleep in the smallest room so can have plenty of rack space for the snakes ( thinknig about this one lol ).

Re: You know you're a real BP owner when....
This happend yesterday...
When your girlfriend asks you, "Who do you love more, me or your snakes?" As a JOKE you reply with, "... Definitely my snakes!" And she takes you seriously. Then you have to spend an hour apologizing to her, and 2 hours getting yelled at. And while she is yelling at you, the only thing you're thinking is, "my snakes never yell at me." :hmm:
-
When you make a day trip just to pick up the little bp. :)
