Herper Problems

My house is not remotely fit for company... But all 13 snakes are in clean enclosures.

#HerperProblems

Share yours. :)

Our neighbors have us on speed dial to remove unwelcome wild snakes from their garages.

Any time I see a Snickers or a candy bar with caramel I think of my Caramel corn snake. #HerperProblems

My coworker joked that he wanted to borrow one of my snakes to fix his mouse problem. #HerperProblems

People acting exasperated instead of sharing your excitement whenever you tell them about your newest reptile.

No pee or poop rule, no excuses. I hate dirty tanks, even been late for Christmas dinner at my mothers. And finding a dirty tank first thing in the morning. Or staying up real late, and being so ready for bed. And finding a gift, and cleaning at 3:30 in the morning.

They don't understand why you need the equivalent of a mortgage payment for your next pickup #herperproblems

I can't drive anywhere without stopping at least once. #HerperProblems

Sorry, this is kinda long.

Anyone watch the show adventure time? Theres a character named gunter the penguin. I got a hatchling savannah monitor about two years ago and named him gunter after the character. I was 95% sure that he was a male. Then a few months later in the show the character was revealed to be a female by giving birth to a cosmic cat thing.

Flash forward to january of this year, i got a "female" sav (named loraine after the chicken in the same show) Then in march gunter got really sick and overnight lost a ton of weight. I flipped out, turns out gunter was EXACTLY like the penguin. Gunter laid close to 40 eggs. I got their genders flipped and caught them mating a week ago, and am now prepared for good eggs! (Gunter and loraine are both very healthy now and pumping especially gunter up with lots of vitamines injected into their rats. Especially calcium for good egg shells)

My girlfriend wont go into my second bedroom, and she named all of the reptiles after villains in harry potter.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I probably see this as less of a problem than you do, since I'm also a Harry Potter fan. :P

I actually love harry potter now. She named the Tegu Voldemort.

There's always just... one.. more... snake... you gotta have.

I've never owned a Tegu, but just judging by their grumpy looking faces, it fits pretty well. :D

Same here. I don't consider it a problem though.

My snake just bit me and I can't find my camera to document the carnage.

I've yet to experience this (only had one small bite) but I can only imagine scrambling for a phone while dripping blood is awful/hilarious. [emoji23]

You're super excited to find another use for your temp gun... Even if that use is to check the temp of your malfunctioning refrigerator. #HerperProblems

Haha! I have totally run around my house with my temp gun to see what temp everything is.

Nobody understands your excitement when you find a forgotten bag of rats in your freezer.

+1, that thing was a godsend this weekend lol

Our snakes being used by other parents threatening their kids. If they don't take care of their hamsters, the hamsters will be fed to our snakes. ;)

Your snake becoming more popular on your Facebook than you are, people ask for pics and updates.... "How about how I'm doing, huh?!?" #HerperProblems

You see a sale ad for a sous vide cooker and immediately get excited because you can use it to thaw out f/t feeders and get them to a perfect 105*F with no effort.

As someone who's used pie weights to sink frozen rats for thawing, I relate!

OoOoOo that's a good freaking idea..... :gj: I know they can be expensive (Williams Sonoma anyone?) but it might be worth if for more than just cooking people food :P

When you're at the store and someone asks what you're plans for the weekend are and you respond "just taking care of the baby" and they're all awwee and ask if you have pictures so you show a picture and their face just drops. Lol.

Yeah I'm watching prices on amazon, I think I'll put it on my Christmas list though. That way my MIL can get it for me and think it's because I want to cook more... she hates snakes LOL. ;)

Finding that perfect new morph that's next on the list to add to the collection (at a great price), having the money, but said money is supposed to be saved for upcoming move. Who needs to move, right? Difficult decisions. #herperproblems

You use my blow dryer for what!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When your date walks out on dinner because you say you like "herps" HAHA

The odd looks you get when you try to explain why this snake or that lizard is cute.

"No really, just look at his face! He has a puppy face!"
"Sure..."
