You know you're a snake keeper when...

suddenly my grandparents decided maybe they don't want me to invite them over for dinner more often...

Exactly. All animals play their part. They are more scared of us and just want to be left alone. I think people tend to forget that we are on their turf and they should be respected as such. It's crazy. Here in Utah wealthy people like to build these crazy houses up in the woods and end up having issues with cougars or bobcats and pets being left outdoors. Then they kill the cat. What did you expect when you've got a meal chained up in the yard? Happens all the time. I guess they just want to live in the wilderness but without all that pesky wilderness.

You refresh 'What's New' on the BP.net website every ten minutes.

Or people in Florida grumping about alligators. They were there first.

When you tell your husband we need another pup, and you're not talking about a dog.

When your 4-year-old has a bunch of stuffed animal snakes and tells his daycare friends and teachers that they are Dumeril's boas, titanoboas, corn snakes, and rat snakes. :)

When you find yourself asking Google whether snakes fart (and the search results direct you to this forum).

When spraying and killing a snake mite fills you with a perverse sense of glee.

When you can't tell your family the only thing that's actually on your Christmas list (coughPVCenclosurescough) because they wouldn't understand

When your son's third grade teacher had him inside a circle in class and he was explaining to all his classmates where his Ball Python was from, the name of the morph and how to care for your pet snake. :D

When the in-laws don't come to visit anymore!! ;) :gj:

You know you're a snake keeper when... u think sausage butts are cute.

If you send an unsolicited pic of your 12" pythin, it's not considered all that offensive. [emoji23][emoji23]

I hate morons like that. Here we get city people that buy a house out in the mountains, and then are surprised by the bears, coyote, mice, snakes and other beasts in their backyard.
go back to the city!!!
