    You already had mine!
    -you have more snakes than most zoos
    -you can solder and make racks, but can't build anything else, and don't even know what else you would do with a soldering iron


    -when you read about someone's bp issues you think why would they have high or low ball pythons?
    -you want a "I heart balls" shirt
    -when you ask a sales clerk if you can order rat food from them they ask what brand/type of poison you are looking for, then ask why you want to feed rats
    -the sales people ask if you are sure 200 pounds of rat food will fit in your car
    -you have rats that are too cute to feed to your snakes

    ...you have a second freezer in the garage, and you won't let anyone see inside because it's full of tiny dead bodies.
    ...you're training your dog to help you sniff out escaped snakes.
    ...you've duct-taped off certain areas of your house (under bookshelves, behind the fridge) to keep escaped snakes from hiding there.
    ...you've removed the duct tape from certain areas, because frankly it's not THAT hard to extract the snakes from under the bookshelf, and at least you know to look there first.
    ...your friends are starting to know your snakes by name, and even agree that they have distinct personalities.
    ...your friends have given up learning your snakes' names because there're too many to remember.
    ...you are starting to forget your snakes' names, because there're too many to remember.
