You know you're a real BP owner when....

You take a day off work to vacuum seal frozen rodents into weekly feeding portions for your collection.

Next......

You have a seperate freezer dedicated to rats

Your snakes and feeders have more room and better food than you do.

You go out of your way and make a long drive to buy African Soft Furred rats when your entire family is visiting.

That sounds like something you would do just to get away from the family.:)

when you go to every reptile show just to look and leave with a few bp's or projects, =)

You suffer in intolerable heat and humidity in bed at night so Your snakes stay warm through the night.

Your 6 yo twins know about 30 different types of BP morphs by sight...

...you do a happy dance when you convert a mouse eater to rats.

...you get excited about ordering a Herpstat 4.

Regards,

B

You sleep on the couch because racks have taken over your bedroom.

when you need another so the first or 2 or 4 arent lonely :D

.......When mites are scarier than the economy.

When you forget that others living with you need to eat more than once a week :rolleyes:

When you see a black and white cat and go "WOAH! PANDA PIED!!"

When you knew more about genetics than the whole science department at your high school BEFORE your class did the unit on genetics.

I'm full of these :P

http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ay-be-addicted

when you name your ball python Beyonce because she's got moves...:snake:

When you take off a day of work because a new snake is coming fedex.


When "snake feeding day" really does take ALL DAY.


When co-workers or customers at work know you as the "snake lady" (or snake man)

we are all loco..but it's all good because the other half is lame...:lmao:

When you ponder how you are going to work a snake rack into your living room decor and consider ditching some furniture.

When eggs hatch its better than christmas.

They have taken over the living room.

when you spend money on a snake to be shipped just to get the joys of unboxing it! lol

When some one is giving you a house to rent for next to nothing and your first concern is if a room can be converted to 'the snake room'

Its my number one concern

when during breeding season, your spouse/partner asks you to pencil them in for some quality time

When you'd rather keep your brick phone and buy a nice morph, instead of getting a smart phone.

...when your family/roommates look at you "like that" when they see you browsing the BP classifieds on EVERY herp site. And they don't believe you when you say you're "just looking..."

...you have a snake room in your house.

...you heat said snake room and suffer during the winter in the rest of the house.

...you have a closet packed full of used shipping boxes and bags.

...you have a rat colony to feed your snake colony.

When you see hides for rabbits on sale, but the only creature that pops into your mind upon seeing said hides is your python.

.... And yes, I have done this. >.> XD

Oh yes, the girlfriend looks at me like that....a lot lately....since everyone is putting their hatchlings up for sale.

When you put your kids in racks (bunk beds), so you can give your snakes their own room.

- When you catch yourself in a store, looking at random items, and thinking,"That would make a cool hide."

- When you refer to a pregnant woman as gravid.

- When all of your friends think you are a sick pervert because all you ever talk about is how much fun you have handling your Balls.

hey now :banana:
my closet/car is full of shipping boxes, but it's because of guitars, amps, tubes, pedals... :cool: :D

..you bring your father to a herp expo and afterward he admits that you actually frightened him with your extensive knowledge on BP morphs and other species. He is now a bit concerned.

..your family's idea of great news is a promotion at work. Your idea of great news is that your female BP just gained 100g in one month.

you do the happy dance over a snake that finally broke it's fast.

you act like a little kid at Christmas time when you are waiting for a new snake to be delivered from FedEx.

I've done that... many times :P except at the last expo my dad wasn't the only one who was frightened, some of the people tabling there were like O.O

When your 3 bedroom home becomes a 2 bedroom with a snake room and your parents have to sleep on a fold out sleeper sofa when they come over.

Shame on me! LOL

When everytime you go to somebody else home you think about how racks you could fit in there home.

When you can't sleep at night be because your excited and worried about your clutches in the incubator.

shed time keeps you up at night, worried if it's going to be a full one piece shed, always thinking; there has to be something I can do to help ;)

When You spend over 1/3 of your free time and 1/3 of your job time on BP.net :rofl::rofl::rofl:

When your iPad, iPhone, Laptop and Desktop all have wallpapers of Your DSLR taken photos of your BP(s) :)

LOL, I was going to say that! :gj:

1. How about your family tells you they won't ever visit or babysit if you have snakes in your house, and you say Okay, I can live with that.

2. When you go grocery shopping you look at the containers and buy the one that can be made into hide, for your future purchases.

For the #1, I don't own a snake yet, but mom told her mom that I want to get a snake and apparently grandma said that she wouldn't visit anymore and I told mom to respond to her: It's okay, it'll be hidden in my room.
XD
(but as far as looking for hides, I passed by Ikea and said 'I heard that there were dog dishes there that make good snake hides! XD I talk about snakes and look for nice hides all the time and I don't even own one yet.

... when the thought of having to eat ramen noodles or PB&J for the rest of the month seems like an okay idea if you can just buy a few more morphs

... when you stop telling people you own snakes because once they ask questions you bombard them with more information than they can take

... when you no longer want but NEED to add a certain morph to your collection

... when your friends who don't like snakes come around because you don't talk about anything else

Ok I'll play. But this is for people who breed.

If you've ever bought your local dollar tree out of dog bowls.
If Washing out 100 baby tubs in your front yard is a weekly thing.
When the lady at the Fed-ex store "Just Knows".
If when buying 200 4" pvc caps at Lowe's your answer to "What project you got going?" is "You wouldn't believe me if I told you"
If you are buying rat food by the pallet.
If you ever get the look after answering "So how many snakes do you have?"

When you go to buy a house (like I did today) and your first concern is which room would be suitable for a snake room.

When your girlfriend asks you, "What do you do last night?" And you resond with "Nothing really... just played with my balls... giggity!"

When you realize you will never make your money back, nor do you care.

When you consider being bitten ny a snake a right of passage.

when you can tell just by looking at them that they are about to go blue (without checking for a pink belly either).

You scare your dad with a twenty five minute genetics lesson... just because there was a lull in the discussion

When your snakes get better dog food bowls than your dogs do.

When you convince your co-worker who is scared of snakes to buy one so you can breed it with yours.
