Why our non-herp friends are allowed to think we are weirdos...

My Facebook status for this picture:
Although I do keep a lot of crap in my purse I don't generally keep mice in it....

My mom saw the picture and told me I needed to explain (on fb) why on earth I had a mice in my purse, lol. I forgot my non-herp friends might not realize they were escaped feeder mice! I was on my way home from the pet store and noticed some movement in my passenger seat, low and behold I finally had mice escape from their "take home" box. Dang it! I pulled off the road, snapped a quick picture, and shoved them back in the box!



Now I want to see your pictures! Or stories that give your friends/family the right to think you're a little odd. Sometimes we can't blame people for thinking we are weird or odd. I'm pretty sure we are ;)

Everyone thinks I am crazy when they see mice in the freezer. The best is when some one goes to grab some ice and they see a "Frozen Mice" box. They slowly put the ice down and say "I think I will pass on the ice".

I have 19 rat tubs and at times well over a hundred rats. Its fun filled when people find that wall of my trailer

:rofl: Oh yes!! I forgot about the freezer thing! I have a separate freezer for all the dead rodents, but there are pinkies on a shelf in our kitchen freezer since it's a nice freezer that doesn't burn things. A friend of my husband was over not too long ago and got in the freezer for ice and said "Oh...dead baby mice..." I nonchalantly said "oh yep, that's the 'dead things' shelf". My husband thought it was humorous, but the friend not so much, lol. The 'dead things' shelf is mostly for the salt water tank, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, regular shrimp, etc so I put my pinkies there too :P

I was going to get a seperate freezer for them but whats the difference between a dead mouse and frozen beef or chicken? Not much really lol so it does not bother me much but my girlfriend that lives with me double bags the boxes of mice to be "safe".

A couple of guys I work with have a bit of a snake phobia.
I mentioned I wish one of my captive snakes would bite me(Have to get it over with at some point and a smaller snake is better than being mistaken for food by a 7 or 8 footer) and, those guys looked at me like I just grew an extra head.

True, but the frozen beef/chicken don't have faces, lol. My collection of frozen rats/mice is way too big for my kitchen freezer. I have 300 frozen rodents right now, that's a lot of real estate!

I only have 3 snakes so for now I will have to look at mouse faces when I open my freezer!
