You know you are a herper when....

when you see a commercial for a new clorox bleach product being used near food and baby's and think " that'd be great to clean the tank with"

The only crock pot in your house is used for bringing F/T mice up to temp on the "keep warm" setting.

You know your a herper when....


hearing a constant "whistle" come from your snake makes you go into cardiac arrest

You stay up till 3 in the morning (even though you are exhausted) searching for "poor babies" that need homes

You find yourself running a tub for your snake instead of your child

You stop talking to people who your snake doesnt like or vice versa:-)

When some co-workrers are all admiring pics of their children, and you bust out a pocket photo album of your snakes......

When you postpone dinner until later that evening b/c your children have better feeding responses.

You claim that your dandruff is just a part of your shed cycle.:laughing:

Lawd, if I'm having a bad day this thread is a guaranteed good belly laugh....you guys ROCK! LOL


Let's see a few more....

1. You realize that you got a digi-cam and have taken hundreds of snake pics and maybe 3 pics of your children! Amazingly, you aren't particularily embarrassed over this!

2. You get totally ticked off that WalMart got some more of your favorite tubs in and LOST THE LIDS! You give the poor customer service person a very foul glare and stomp off (guilty as charged...but geesh!)

3. You sit up half the night watching over a breeder female rat whose had a hard birth.

4. When one of your best breeder female rats has a litter you can in your head calculate exactlyand immediately just how much money you saved on the snake's feed bill.

5. Your kids start phoning from school because they are trying to explain to their teacher about snakes and they need back up!

I like #5, my lil sis is being taught about reptiles now and the teacher keeps asking her to ask me certain things about snakes/bp's

Isn't educating ppl the best part??? Ive got friends who are soooo fearful, but I take PS out, and instead of shoving him into their face, politely respect their distance and talk and handle him. Even had one that then asked if they could hold him. :D It was great.


I LOOOOVE that FD takes Kish's sheds to school to share & that she's so excited to do so. (this last week's was one-piecer/perfect!!) She's gotten a couple of her friends to learn more about 'em to decrease the fear factor of the "unknown"
