You know you're a real BP owner when....

When housekeeping revolves around snakekeeping: Feed the snakes/clean the kitchen. Receive an order of rats/deep clean the kitchen. Clean cages/clean the bathroom. Snake escape/deep clean the whole house! :O

you care more when your BP gets injured, than you do about your own injuries :)

when you tear apart your entertainment center to use the melamine so you can build a rack.

when the fed ex driver asks you to open the box so she can see the pretty new snake.

when the fed ex driver knows your name

when every time you go shopping you have to see what tubs are on sale

when the petshop calls you to ask questions....happens all the time

when you get pulled over by the cops and you have gram scales, sphagnum moss, perlite and vermiculite and they dont believe that your not growing pot.(never happened but could see it)

First of all, I'm glad I'm not the only one:rolleyes:, but here's my reasons!

...When your more excited for the next expo to come around more so then any holiday.

...When your family already knows what your browsing on the computer.

...When others don't think certain morphs you think are super crazy awesome like you do :/

When you're drooling over a morph on kingsnake and your gf says to you "...that looks just like one of yours". Then you spend the next 10 minutes explaining how it is different, and you don't get how it isn't so blatantly obvious. :confused: :P

When your gf gets irratated because all you talk about is how much you miss your snakes and not her....or how you always talk about snakes and not her. Guilty of that daily! :p

...even when the ball python caused your injuries.
"Oh my gosh, did you break a tooth? You poor thing..."

1. When you've searched "how to wire flexwatt" and "how to make a snake rack" in youtube.
2. When you hope your wife/husband won't ask you to choose between them or your bps.
3. When you know the humidity inside your house.
4. When the first thing you look for when you go to Walmart and Target are stelirite/rubbermaid tubs.
5. When the only time you get intimate with your partner is when there is a storm surge coming. :colbert:

...you keep your bp habitats cleaner than your own...

You purchase items in the store that you have absolutely no use for simply because the containers will make good hides once empty.

My gf is the only one who understands. Of course everyone thinks I'm crazy that I love snakes so much anyways!

Instead of going to college you want to stay at home and become a BP breeder
You spend a week trying to get your parents to let you have another BP and give them the silent treatment when they say no.
Your biology teacher becomes your favorite teacher because they have a BP class pet and he lets you handle it whenever you want
and now: your BP strikes at you while in his cage and your scared he'll break his jaw

You own a pair of giant hemastats, but you can't remember where they are, and you'd rather get bitten then bother to look for them.

oh here's another one

you know you're a snake breeder when your biggest fear is not that you'll drop your camera or lens...it's that a snake will strike it while you're trying to take a macro photo!

You consider cashing in what's left of your 401k because snakes are a better investment than the stockmarket.
