You might be a ball python keeper..........

If you look at other people's fuzzy, cute pets (kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc) and wonder what you could feed them to (my husband).

If you've boycotted most of animal planet and discovery's programs because they villainize snakes and half the time when they're talking about one species they're showing pictures of other species and it annoys you that they can't even get their species correct.

You've had lengthy discussions about what type of snake Nagini is (this also makes you a Harry Potter nerd...).

If you've (jokingly) threatened to turn your snakes into belts, wallets, etc. if they don't start eating.

If you've taught your mom and your mother in law not to call on Sunday nights because its feeding night and you're busy.

You know 10 tricks to get a snake to take ft over live and a rat over a mouse but have no idea how to program your VCR (do people still have VCRs?).

-If you are considering to get more BP's
-If you care more about your baby:snake: then yourself. :)

HAHA, this is a great thread! :gj:

...if you go into a subway and think how great their bread baker ovens would be to make an incubator out of.

...if you ask your 5yr old daughter what snake she wants next and replies "a spinner or bumblebee".

...if someone mentions pie and you are drooling not because of baked goods.

...if you have been startled by what sounds like a sumo wrestler dropping a duece in your snakes enclosure.

...if you have referenced McGyver when thinking of a solution to a problem.

If you've told someone that your snake is "in blue" and they start asking where you got a BLUE snake. :P

If your planning your kids birthday party at NERD.

...you don't throw out your old tank when your snake grows to a new one because maybe, I mean who knows right, you might get another snake someday soonish? Even if you know you have no money and no time..... that might just be me. wishful thinkin :P

You start wondering if, just maybe, you can turn those lids into something... After all they are free with your tubs...

When you hated genetics in high school biology class but soon after you got your first BP you found that you were fascinated by genetics...

You unroll sheds to check for eyecaps.

Instead of Friday being movie night, its feed night.. And everybody enjoys it just as much!

Dang, that would be awesome!

If you have ever been bit by a feeder momma asf protecting her children.

... you keep spending your car fund...

... you talk to a friend about the "pie(d)" you really want on pi day

...instead of studying for your pathophysiology exam you're drawing Punnet Squares and playing around with Genetics Wizard :D

sounds familiar, except for me it was a thermodynamics exam and a calculus 3 exam... The joys of being an Engineering major

When you post on Facebook in March that you either want a Pastel, Black Pastel, Pastel Orange Ghost, Albino or Piebald for your birthday/Christmas gift since both are in December.. You might be a ball python owner...lol:gj:

They do birthdays Noah and I are so there :P
our birthday is only 9 days from each other (he is asking mom now) :rofl::rofl:

Could this go sticky? I love it!

If your husband is trying to find a way to block kingsnake.com on your computer.... :D

Your kids/significant other want you to get off bp.net so they can use the computer...lol. :D

You take a photo of that giant deuce that your snake left and proudly posted it online...

...if your wife carries lube and probes in her purse.

:D

The first thing you do when you get bit is not to clean up the blood but to yell "Quick! Someone get the camera!!" :D

When you've become a regular customer of the local moving company with no intentions of moving.

When the word "banana" does not automatically conjure up images of a delightful, tropical fruit.

When spiders lay eggs that hatch out bees and it makes perfect sense.

When you don't need to go to the doctor to see if "your boys" are producing sperm.

If you sleep in the buff because its too hot in your bedroom(snake room)

If you go to do your morning business and greet the snake in your bathroom

If you talk about snakes so often you start to feel like a nerd

:D

When you can say, "I`m going home to attend to my balls " without even flinching!

...when you greet your online friends, you accidentally type "het" instead of "hey"

When BHB's web site is your homepage and two other tabs open up when you open google chrome and one is of BP.net and the other is HC.com. When you forget to check facebook for a week. When every ball your favorite candy store... I mean pet store gets the save it in the back for you to take first pic if wanted. When you refuse to date a girl because the dislike snakes (I am not given my kids up for nothing) When you are over joyed because your mom just picked up a BP out of its cage on her own. and Tonight at Target I was looking at shelving and storage bins just for my BPs

if you start referring to your spouse/significant other, kids, and dogs as your "collection."

It's Friday night and your at home watching old snakebytes episodes. (this most likely means you have kids as well)

calculus 3 makes my head hurt just from reading it.

probing your balls takes on a whole new meaning

You have a big rack, and its got nothing to do with your bra size..

You are a girl with big balls that the boys envy.

You talk to your 11yo son about balls and boobs and your wife doesnt get angry:P

When you are a girl who can start a conversation, " My balls are bigger than yours" without a second thought.

When you are a girl and don't think twice about asking a guy, " So, how big are your balls?"

If you've ever told a complete stranger, "You have beautiful balls!" And they actually said thank you.

If you've ever been online and said out loud, 'Ohh I wish I had his balls!" And your husband says, "I wish you did too!"

Gale

...If you always stop by the reptile isle in Petco/Petsmart just to snicker at some of the overpriced, unnecessary merchandise marketed to snake owners... and to make sure no one's buying heat rocks. :P

(P.S., these "ball" jokes are a little overdone IMHO... :snake: :snake:)

When you walk by someone at Petsmart/petco and hear them talking about snake care to a customer. You stay there pretending to look at heat rocks and when the salesman is gone you correct all their mistakes and make a new friend in the process. I've saved at least a few balls from heat rocks and desert like conditions in their houses.

I've been up watching snakebytesTV all night I love that show, I think they need to do a thirty minute show for TV.

When you give up your tv, xbox 360, and Games for more balls, or When half your papers for college include something about your Balls. at some point. When you have to include your balls in your life insurance and will paper work (only because you aint given them and they will out live you....

...You forget it's your Mum's birthday next week - But you've already bought your Ball Python a new hide for her birthday ON THE SAME DAY AS YOUR MUMS.

...You can't think of any of your friends who, after meeting your Ball Python, don't now WANT a snake :P

...There are weekly cries of "Oooh whats in that container on the window le-OH MY GOD AIMEE CAN'T YOU DEFROST THAT THING SOMEWHERE ELSE!??" - From the Grandparent in the Kitchen

...The phrase "Don't hug me, there's a python in my pocket." Doesn't sound weird any more.

:love:

Hahaha :P The joys of being British :D Mumsie, Mummy dearest, Mother dear :P

You might be a ball python keeper if...

You come home and yell " Time to play with my balls!"

Your kids don't even flinch anymore when you pre-kill your snakes meal....
And neither do you.

-if the word spider has nothing to do with 8 legs.
-bumblebee has nothing to do with honey
-you talk about cleaning or feeding your balls in public and don't understand why you are getting dirty looks

... If you've ever calculated the convection currents in an exclosure so you could balance the heat and humidity just so.

Oh thank you! I thought I was the only one to do that! :D (Human armpits are about 1F lower than under the tongue, according to my reference book... and only on this site do I have to go back and put "human" in front of this to be clear.)
