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

if the first thing you do in the morning is check humidity and temps

when you are bummed out that it is the day after feeding and you cant hold your balls for another 24 hours

when you text home every couple of hours about humidity and temps

when your four year old asks you to see videos on youtube about feeding snakes (THE RIGHT WAY OF COURSE)

lol my wife is not into balls as much as I'm (lol that could be taken out of context) but she does help by checking the humidity when I'm at work.

LMAO!!! And this is one of the greatest threads, ever...... :p

So mine for tonight.......

You grab one of your normal males (because you need to learn how to pop, but are terrified of hurting them) and by barely touching, squeeze out some sperm! Funny part was when I carried him in to show my husband (laughing all the way :D) and he said- "EW, gross, go put him back and wash your hands!". LMFAO!!!!

Buying new live feeders three times in a row because they keep growing too big for my dainty little Indy.. sigh..
And getting all excited about breeding you start blabbing about genetics in front of people who have no idea what you're talking about...:rolleyes:

if you have ever reached into your fridge for a beer and accidentally pulled out a rat, you might be a ball python keeper!

If you are making donuts at work and you find ones that arent perfectly round and you call them slugs :D

If your husband brings you a little sugar and it isn't a kiss.;)

If you have a snake in qt on your kitchen table, because there are snakes in every other room...

If you forgot all about this thread and happy Doolittle dug it out!

Lol I have a new one from tonight.

....if your sister in law comes over and handles your balls, and you have done nothing wrong.

...if you are starting to buy jewelry with snakes on them...LOVE IT!!!

If you've ever put your eggs in the refrigerator... to keep them warm.

..if getting a thermostat in the mail makes your day.

If you have to buy a second set of mixing bowls to thaw your massive pile of rodents for the week!

If you hate Animal Planet.....

if you just sat for a good hour and read through every single post in this thread without getting bored.

if you feel lonely when half your collection just ate and half are in shed and there's no one to hold! :(

But but...it's surprisingly human. Lol

...if you'd rather sit in the room with all of your snakes and racks than watch tv. :D

If your daughter cleans your balls, and its not inappropriate.

If you sit at work and worry about your snakes that have been off feed for a couple of months even though you know it's normal.

You might be a ball python keeper...

...when all you want for birthdays/christmas is another snake.

If you call your snakes, "Sweetie" more than you call your wife...and she calls you on it.

You might be both a nerd and a ball python keeper....



... if you have USB coffe mug warmers in order to keep your snakes warm using your laptops in case of a power outage.

Guilty on that one I also check them as soon as I get home and just before I go to bed :)

If you hear someone say Mojave Desert and you instantly go, "What?! Mojave? Where!?!"

People at work ask about your 20 children...by name.

You might be a ball python keeper if in your infinite exhaustion, you see an add for the Flavour Wave oven on late-night infomercials and think to yourself "hmmmm I wonder if that would work for thawing rodents!" and then immediately remember "OH GOD NO I remember when someone told me they thawed on in the microwave!"

Hahaha.

You might be a ball python keeper if your rat racks take up more room in the basement than all 4 of your large dogs combined.(german shepard, english bulldog, poodle, bull terrier)

If you see the Fed-Ex truck drive by and squeal at the thought of the Fed-Ex fairy, complete with wings and of course, a box marked "Live, Harmless Reptiles".

If you re-arrange your ball pythons cages/furniture more then your own. :D

if you believe in Chinese Zodiac and your parents let you keep snakes even though they're terrified, just because 2013 is year of the snakes

If your BPs will be inheriting your life savings.:banana:








1.0 Spider
1.0 Pinstripe
1.0 Lemon Pastel - blushed out - flamed out
0.1 Lemon Pastel - blushing out
0.1 Mojave - stunning girl
0.2 Normals
0.1 Amel Corn Snake
1 Oscar Fish

when your mom insists on keeping a basket full of sheds on her dresser.

You might be a ball python keeper if:

You have withdrawal symptoms from being able to care for your balls while you are sick

If while you are sick, you think more of the care for your balls then you do for yourself

The last thing you say to your husband at night is, "honey did you check the water for the humidifiers for the snakes?"

...if you have an entire stand-up freezer in the garage that your parents don't use anymore because there's rodents in it.

...when your parents ask you if you can take the household vermin to feed to the snake as the little buggers get caught.

...when your idea of a great lazy morning is browsing BPnet with a python burrowed into your hoodie.

...when you change your major from theater management to biology so you can get a better handle on genetics for your future projects.

...when you're constantly on the lookout for new, cheap reptile accessories, no matter what type of store you're in. Be it a pet store, grocery, hardware, department store...

....If your boss has ever scheduled your shifts around "feeding day."

First off, this is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread:

You might be a ball python keeper if...

It's feeding day, but you have food poisoning so you drive to the pet store with a trash bag in the front, 'just in case' because you won't push their feeding back a day like everyone tells you to (last week for me)
You can rationalize the idea that you don't really need air conditioning in your car, that Piebald male though, you really could use that!
You imagine your future house and it has a reptile in about every room with it's own fancy home made cage!
