I confess.

Hi. My name is Marla and I am addicted to herps. :oops:






I won an auction for a ball python on ReptiBid tonight that I bid on two weeks ago even though it's supposed to be a male.


I also ordered an adult male crested gecko. And I fully intend to find and order an adult female as well.

Apparently, not only am I addicted, but I am shameless as well.

Nothing to be embarrassed about Marla. I am pretty sure everyone on these boards are equally addicted as well. I would have out bid you on that Ball on Reptibid if I had not cut up all my credit cards :roll: :lol: Now all I do is watch as other people bid and drool like a monkey!

LOL no you wouldn't. It has to be picked up 10 miles from here. :)

Oh ok :P :mrgreen:

Hi Marla- I have only slowed on my reptile addiction because of three reasons:
Out of money
Out of room
and out of electrical outlets
oh ya I forgot every time I vacume the house I blow a circut.
But I am plotting for future purchases as we speak.

HI, MARLA! I think we can all understand your addiction. I never suspected it would be so strong. We are constantly checking out online classifieds, repti-bid, breeder websites, pet stores (i visit "my" leaf-tailed geckos once a week), and local classifieds. I'm determined not to buy any new herps until the Northern Virginia show in May, though. I just hope I can control myself until then.

:lol: Y'all are very supportive. I always hear the first step to overcoming your problem is admitting you have a problem. And the first rule of Bite Club is don't talk about Bite Club. ;) I think we'd probably better get either the therapist or the afrock out of the closet before we end up with a problem. I hear therapists can transmit all sorts of bugs. ;)

and bring lots of mites for that matter.

Ohh yeah. They can carry Freud mites, which are some of the worst. They leave a burning sensation for weeks, often around the cloaca.

LOL! Ewww, Marla!

LOL :lol: - Marla, you're hilarious! I wonder what Freud would have to say about our snake addictions, and whether his opinion would differ for men and women.

Yeah....men are compensating...and women are dreaming!

ha ha ha

Smynx, I think Judy probably hit the nail on the head with that one! But sometimes a cigar is just a cigar! :)

I agree with Judy, too. And to paraphrase: sometimes a snake is just a snake - or a really fascinating pet.

Sometimes I suspect they're just as Freudian as he'd want them to be, though. My first BP was a rescue from a friend who was an animal control officer. She was called out to get her because a motel maid found her in the sheets when the went to strip the bed. I figured the poor thing was traumatized from that.
