1. you got rid of your bed to make room for snake racks and now you sleep on the couch....

2. You see a snake you want and start going through your house trying to find things to sell on e-bay....

3. Every store you go to you look through thier plastic ware section looking for better hides....

if your friends need to have an intervention with you!:rofl:

You're not really sure what a soldering iron is used for but you own one and have used it.

When your house has a temp gradient.

You own 40 plastic shoe boxes and only 3 pairs of shoes.
You own dozens of rubbermaid food containers, but can never find anything to put leftovers in.
You are constantly buying trunk loads of mulch, but you don't have a yard.

:rofl: Good one

When you kick half the covers off at night, and when your other half complains you reply, "But honey, I'm thermoregulating."

You try to figure out what your human offspring are het for, and if there's a "super" form!

if.. you here someone say something about their balls and you say oh what kind.

You keep answering the doctors with "I have several morphs.. which are you asking about?" when they ask you how your "BP" is.

You clean your snake room compulsively yet you can't rem the last time you picked up your bedroom.

Wintertime is spent in the reptile room.

You refer to going to the beach to bask.

You really start to wonder why people are creeped out by dead rats in your freezer with the pizza.

You took entirely too long to figure out the first one I posted.. because BP never ever ever means Blood Pressure to you....

...If you spend more on rats than on people food!

If your freezer has more rats than ice cubes

If your mom screams when she opens the freezer (hey, it happens)

If you consider fuzzies "treats"

Your water is turned off but right after you are notified you fill up a few gallons and have no intentions of using it for yourself.

Your very allergic to rats yet you have over 30:) ( raises hand)

Your spouse doesn't bother to argue with you about getting a new snake and instead names it.


I love my fiance :)

I'm guilty of thinking about this...

when youve changed the circuit breakers in the house because the one for the snake room keeps popping. (oops)

If you've ever referred to a pregnant woman as "gravid".
Bonus points if it was your OWN WIFE.

You drive an '86 Toyota Celica yet you have thousands of dollars invested in BP's, their food, and caging.

I bet that '86 Celica gets better mileage than the '09 model :p.

You might be addicted if you have to explain basic genetics on a regular basis, and you're only talking about snakes.

I have another..

you have already spent next weeks paycheck!

your paycheck is split 50 for snakes, 25 for your food, and 25 for your internet service!:D

I second that.
Spent all my cash on snakes and racks...
Running out of food.
But still have plenty of frozen mice...:gj:

... If you call Michael Jackson a piebald. :D

Or if your ball python is having a better sex life than you and you are happy about it.

The 2 above this post are the best lol!

If you look at everything you want to buy as what morph it would cost...

New camera, ahhh thats a Bee and a Woma (i may have to throw in a pastel girl too?)...

New (er) car, thats only 5 Calicos... :D

Boat, thats a Champange... im getting a Champagne :gj:

:rofl: We've been through this exact scenario....many times! :rofl:

If you find out someone you work around has a ball python and you secretly stalk them a little and make friends with them just to see what their snakes husbandry looks like

Somehow you spend more than you make on snakes(guilty)

The only vacations you take are arranged around picking up rats, snakes, or going to a reptile expo.

When the waitress asks you how you want your steak, you can't decide between live or F/T. :mouse2:

LOL! SO TRUE!!!!

When you wife finds out on BPnet what kind of snakes you have and when they laid eggs;).
And then asks you how many do you have now and you dont know cause you lost count:)

haha I have totally done this.

...you keep buying extra rubbermaids, "just in case"...

when power goes out you forget out the food in the freezer and worry about the snakes and your eggs.

or

you miss a family event cause you snake is sick.
or
in my case when a hurricane come through you hook the the thermostat to the generator before anything else when power goes out.

(powers been out for a hour now im on the cell phone dam tornado's)

double bonus points if you referred to yourself as "gravid" . yes I called myself gravid :P


you may be addicted when you can't stand doing housework but are meticulous when you clean out bins and enjoy doing it.

...tell people your girlfriends chihuahua layed puppies and there were three in the clutch...

U can grill mice!:rofl:

You know you're addicted if... your fire alarms are going off and you're up in your reptile room trying to stuff your entire collection into tubs/snake bags with no regard for your personal safety...

This is a great thread! Some of these are halarious!

if you have nothing to eat so you grab a cricket and taken it from your lizard and gobble it down

if you have 20 10gallons and countless others of various size and shapes just in case someone offers you one of their reptiles (me)

:) You use your generator during a hurricane or tropical storm to power your incubator instead of your AC or your fridge . . . (been there, done that this morning)



You garbage men start wondering about the 10 bags of trash every week (old aspen from rats and snakes does smell)

If you watch the national weather and you immediately start to worry over friends and their collections in the path of whatever bad weather is coming.

Hope all of you in it's path are okay and safe. :)

If you never understood genetics when you were supposed to learn it in high school, but you do now.

If your 6 and 11 year old kids understand genetics better than you did when you learned it in high school.

This is a great thread... I had a good laugh! Keep it up!

If you see a kitten as a potential meal:P
