You may be addicted

If your reptile room has its own circut breaker.

if the pet store owners know you by name.

the hardware store employees asks about next projects.

you try and find out your weight in grams.

you mean "rooms" with an "S" and each room has "multiple circuit breakers" ;)

...If you use chlorhexadine to clean your house

...If your doodles during class consist of punnet squares

...If someone asks you what your life goals are, and you respond with a list of ball python morphs!

(guilty of all three :D)

You know your SO is starting to get addicted too, when he/she always complained about how expensive the good brands of dog food are when buying it for the dog, but doesn't say a word when discussing buying it for the rodent colony.

When you're cutting up the fresh fruits and vegetables for the reptiles and rat colony.. and the microwave dings to let you know your $0.50 cheap frozen burrito is warmed....

When keeping a baby snake in your bra because people have the AC turned too low in the waiting room doesn't seem odd to you...

When co-workers assume you like all creepy things!

When co-workers avoid your desk!

When co-workers look at you in fear and awe when you discuss your animals!

When your co-workers are surprised you own a cat!

when your family members dont even ask anymore how many snakes you have.. they just roll their eyes

When a "nice rack" no longer has to do with cleavage

When you finally after all these years out of school figure out how genetics really work

When you find out your child has a genetic disease you ask the dr if your other child is "het for" the disease HAHAHAHAHA (its totally happened!)

when you refuse to keep your snakes/racks/exc in any other room besides your bedroom in fear someone will want to steal your private collection, the tvs, computers, exc however go without notice... who cares if they get stolen!

when 95% of your family and friends dont even know you have snakes because you dont want them to know a: your investment b:youve gone totally crazy or c: where all your money has really gone

when the guy at the post office refers to you as the "snake girl"

when your breeder/supplier is your best friend.. you smile when you see their phone number show up on caller id

when you refer to your supplier as such and people give you the weirdest look ever and you just smile knowing hes the good guy ;)

when your husband asks you what you want for your birthday and you reply "a temp gun!"

when you have already spent your entire 09' tax return on MORE SNAKES!!

when you run home and the first thing you do is check on your reptiles

:weirdface totally us, in every instance

....when you dress up an a giant ball python costume at weekends:colbert:
