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

If you have ever gone to a garage sale/flea market looking for bookshelves, etc to turn into housing or other accessories for your ball pythons.

If you have ever made yourself leave your wallet/purse at home when going to a show to prevent overspending, only to discover you "accidentally" stuck a credit card in your pocket, and after all that is a really good deal on that morph you've been wanting.

If you've ever gotten your feathers ruffled by an unthinking non-reptile person while in a pet store, and gave them a bit of education in a not-so-polite way because you are sick of snake haters.

If your spouse has ever changed the channel because you keep talking over the commentary on a "reptile show" on TV, loudly pointing out the obvious mistakes and misinformation.

If your spouse has ever come home from work and asked, "When is dinner?" and you reply the rats aren't thawed yet. Then you remember the people in the house need to eat as well as the snakes.

If the first thing you do in the morning is grab your coffee and get on bp.net. :gj:

Mines hop on Bp.net with my pre work out drink......same thing lol

You only eat fresh food cause the freezer is full of rodents.

...your 9 year old son has a better grasp of genetics than some college students, thanks to the obsessive talk about dom, co-dom, and recessive traits...

...every time you grab a soda from the convenience store, you wish you could take the glass front refrigerator home and turn it into an incubator...

...every time you watch that show Infested!, and you see a house infested with rats, you only wish you could be that lucky to have that much snake food around...

...you walk into a pet store and think SNAKE FOOD when you see the 'fancy' rats...

...you've been in a subway, seen a huge rat, and wondered which one of your balls could eat it...

...your friends and family have threatened to have an intervention for your addiction...

...your friends and family threaten to put you on that show Hoarders...

Today, I had to move the rats out of the way to find the frozen burritos and Hot Pockets... :rofl:

If your favorite statement is "just one more".

You might be a ball python keeper if.... your idea of a relaxing day trip with your wife is hitting the nearest reptile expo.

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

You care more about temp/humidity in the tub than your own health.

...if you've ever used the sentence "Nah no pub tonight, feeding night!"

...You tell your friends you and your significant other are expecting to bring a new little man home in the near future and the people that know you and also own snakes say "Awh congratulations!" because they know you're bring home a snake...

The rest say "Awh congratulations!" because they think you're bringing home a baby...add to looks of confusion as to why you don't even look remotely grav-PREGNANT.

You have ever blamed a fart on the snake instead of the dog

Your dog has tried to blame a fart on the snake


And you both got away with it :D

A 2 for 1 sale on rubbermade 2221s at zellers makes you the happiest ever and you tell the cashier that its like christmas and she looks at you like you are a basket case.

Someone finds out that you have snakes and they ask you how many and you say "only 10".

When people ask you if your worried your snakes will eat your cat and you reply "I'm more worried my cat will eat my snakes!"

This is the best thread ever!! Sticky???

Your happy to get blue balls.

Your kid is the only one that has to get permission from the principal to bring in their pet on show and tell day.

You are making out your grocery list for the week, and rodents are on it.

You wake up like a little kid on christmas every day after cleared eyes when you're expecting a shed.

Your husband asks if you'll "always be this weird" when you baby-talk to your snakes

When you worry so much about your snake not eating that you don't eat yourself

The only vacation of the year you've planned is to Hamburg for the reptile convention

Sticky, sticky, sticky :) :gj: ...... One of the best threads, IMO.

-When you have to explain to your husband the difference between hoarding and having a breeding collection repeatedly. (9 snakes are not a lot!)

-When mom comes over for my nephew's first birthday party and the one thing she wants to do before she leaves is to hold the baby balls. (she loves my nippy little pinstripe girl)

You can complement a woman's rack and not be sexually harassing her.

if you wake up in the middle of the night and rush into the other room to check on your new baby... to make sure her temps and humidity are right. (I really hope this calms down after I get more bp's. Makes for long nights.)

if you have friends over and suddenly hear cursing as your freezer slams shut because you forgot to rebag the rats and one was staring at the same ice cream the guest was.

Lol! I'm getting to that point but it's bad enough the girls at work look at me when I come in tired and just say "Snake again?" Used to corns which I'm pretty sure could survive the apocalypse so the finickiness of bps has me a bit nervous.

I remember my husband finding a grocery list I had made:

Butter
Paper Towels
Mice
Bread
Eggs

:D

-when there are more pics of your snakes on your Facebook then of yourself
-your family makes it a vacation day to come see all your snakes
-when your mother in law refuses to eat food from your freezer because there are rats in it
-instead of saying I want to come over to party your friends say " I want to come over to see your snakes"

...When people start taking you off their FB news feed because they're getting sick of the snakes

Me: "Sooo anybody ELSE taken me off the news feed?"
G: "Yeah, ***insert a few names from work***"
Me: "Cause of-"
G: "-the snakes, yes Aimee."
Me: :D :sweeet:

...you've had family members run screaming out of the bathroom because you had rats thawing in your tub...

it only bad if you have the police and all t ocall you for snake removals and Iding of them at 2 am. I been told I have to use colored container or a trash bag to keep my frozen rodents in so noone sees them when opening the fridge.

but it really bad if you pull out a hairless rodent and at first glance (not even a second ) and can't tell if it chicken or a rat until you open the bag.

Wow thanks, I did not get that a all

If your diet appears to finally be working!... mostly because your foraging is cut short by whats in the freezer...

Iv already lost 5 pounds.. and I think that icecream has gone bad...

... If it isn't strange to have 3 balls, but it is still strange to have 1. (Lol, that's me. The guy with 1 ball.)

... If you've ever told someone that their pet rat looks delicious (Only jokingly of course!)

... If you get excited when you are bit by a pet and take pictures, rather than getting angry at the pet.

If you are excited to move into a new place because it has a walkin closet....for your collection

If your mom gives you two lawyer bookcases and tells your fiancé not to let you turn them into a rack system... http://img.tapatalk.com/c6e4dda5-ec4d-f5ac.jpg

Omg...I know how to make my next rack now...

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk

Lol! It would make a sweet baby/juvenile rack, just drill a hole by each shelf and run the heat tape in there... Use tubs with lids....

Yeah im totally going to do it and they are totally going to kill me =P


You might be a ball python keeper if your willing to risk bodily injury to turn random furniture into rack systems haha!

if whenever one of your friends gets a new lame pet rodent you tell them to give it to you when you they get bored of it... and then everyone in the room yells at you lol

if you have showed up late to a party or social event because it was feeding day.

if the only days you request off from work are the dates of reptile expos and days when youre expecting to receive a snake in the mail.

If the cashier at the Dollar Store no longer looks at you funny when you buy 30 of the same item.

If you've ever caught yourself admiring some new dinnerware at the store, thinking to yourself "Those would make great water bowls/hides etc."

When the neighbors no longer look at you funny when they see a bunch of plastic tubs scattered across your lawn while you wash them with a garden hose.

If you catch yourself watching the newspaper for linen sales so you can stock up on pillowcases cheap.

If a loud disgusting noise in the middle of the night no longer causes you to yell at your spouse, instead you make a mental note someone's tub needs cleaned in the morning and go back to sleep.

If you have ever walked by your rack and noticed an awful smell; you open a tub, fearing the worst, and discover your stubborn feeder didn't eat after all. :bleh:

Gale

It's Friday night and you are watching tv with a snake around your neck...

BTW, they make toasty scarves...lol. :D

quilty of this one for sure

OH! I HAVE A LOT FOR THIS :D Tell me what you guys think


...when you nearly are poisoned from plastic air fumes when trying to ventilate twenty bins by melting the plastic for new arrivals that are coming the following week.

...when your coffee maker stops making coffee and starts thawing mice.

...if when you do your homework you have two snakes up your sleeve and one around your neck.

...when you fall into a pond full of alligators and land on top of the gators as you are trying to observe a species of snake in the field (this also happened to me. I literally fell into a pond full of alligators that I could clearly see. It scared them just as much as it scared me).

...when your family just stops asking how many pythons are in the house.

...when your parents find their furniture normal one day and then overnight being turned into snake habitats with a python in it.

...when you sex the snakes for the people at petsmart and correct their habitats without being asked.

...when the only answers you get correctly on the quiz is about genetics (this seriously just happened to me today).

...when you feel extremely comfortable touching dead mice.

You might be a Ball Python keeper if.........You call out of work sick, because you know that package you've been waiting for will arrive that day.
:)

Hahahahahaha these are great guys! How about this one?

You know you are a ball keeper when:

You carry pictures of your baby and show her off like she's one of the kids. Oh crap! I don't have any pictures of the kids in my wallet.

You get accused of being Satanic because you have a pet snake and you feel curiously proud.

The only pictures you have on facebook are of your baby ball. :bow:

If it's easter sunday coming up and someone says "So, you getting any eggs this Sunday?" and your reply is -

"No no not for a long while, my female is nowhere near the right size for breeding!"

YES! Good to know i wasnt the only one lol!
In highschool we played "study games" the last 2 days before my AP Bio final. I was the first to answer every punnet square question without writing anything out on paper. :D
All the examples were like about gregor mendels peas or flowers but its the same principles really...
It was the only part of the class i really excelled at haha

I think I got a good one,

"You might be a ball python keeper if, the first thing you think of when somebody says "weight watchers" is your BP that is currently off feed..."

Happening to me currently which is what made me think of it :P

Your three year old gets excited and slaps you high five when he sees a rat get eaten!

The young lady at the reptile store doesn't even bother to walk with you to the rat room. She just let's you go back and pick them out yourself...happened to me this evening :D

...when you walk by a girl in a pet store who smells like she's been cleaning rodent tubs and you find that appealing enough to strike up a conversation.

i know i know...weird :oops:
