    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.)

    haha I do this too!

    I'll add my own I guess:

    - if you ever called sick to school/work to take care of your snake(s) aka visit to the vet, be on hand to assist on that female laying a clutch, clutch pipping, etc.
    - if your spouse has taken up herping just to be allowed in the snake room to have at least some quality time with you.
    - if you plan your vacation around breeding, laying and hatching (sorry sweety can't go on that 75% off dream vacation, I need to be there in case they start locking).
    - if you have better archived record of your snakes past feed/shed/lock(all with pictures and videos) then you have of your own wedding.

    If you buy one of those "PODS" things and use it as a feeder shed.

    (Lol this is actually a good idea if they'd allow it, the things are ventilated and you can get ones that are heated too. Not sure the PODS people would be too happy with you after they get it back though... :bolt:

    If you wake up in the morning, and know you have tubs to clean before you even turn on a light, because of the smell in your room. :D

    True story, all 6 of them had poopied up their tubs overnight.

    Not long ago, I left work early because I was worried about a wayward snake in my apartment... I was so anxious about that all day, my boss finally sent me home to handle the situation. That was definitely a first for her - "sent employee home early, to rescue lost snake." :D (and yes, I did find her safe & sound in the couch)

    P.S. I was also late for our staff meeting one week, because Nerissa was laying her eggs as I was getting ready to leave. Thankfully I had an understanding boss!

    -if the tragedy of the week is that the snake struck the mouse before everyone was settled in front of the enclosure to watch.

    -Your almost 4 year old son croons to the mouse-of-the-week about how it's going to be "snake yummies" tonight.

    -you know you have a rodent infiltrating your home when your snake takes a special interest in a particular cabinet in the kitchen as you walk through and after looking, find the little buggers poo in said cabinet. Stupid drought sending all the critters indoors for food and water. :rolleyes:

    1. When you make sure you have no plans to go anywhere on feeding day.
    2. When you go to the beach and later refer to your peeling sunburn as "I'm having a bad shed"
    3. When you save all your snakes' sheds in ziploc bags labeled with the date and organized in binders.

    You might be a ball python keeper--if you have more pictures of your snake(s) than you do of your children. And if after you introduce yourself, you say, "You want to see a picture of my snake(s)?"

    When you refer to a litter of rats being born as "hatching" and get huffy when people laugh at you.

    Had this happen to me over the weekend. It's not my fault the ball python eggs are hatching now and that's all I think about!
