I LOVE this hobby. It's so easy to become addicted! My boyfriend has lived 30 years of his life without thinking he'd ever own a snake or spider or gecko or tortoise...or rats! Now, he's as obsessed as me! He just called me super excited because he found a new local reptile shop and he stopped in and grabbed some supplies we needed. He called me like a kid in a candy store!

He's always tolerated the snakes, which I think was the hardest thing to find in a guy when I was dating. Now he loves them, and even "owns" my male OG ball lol. He also "owns" our tortoise and an OBT lol. He supposedly had a huge fear of spiders before I came home with my A.Versi without talking to him about it first, actually caused a huge argument because of it, but now he loves them just as much as me! Like I said he owns the OBT, and he just called me and told me he's coming home with a rosehair lol.

Anyone else have any contagious stories? Have you "rubbed off" on any unexpected people? I always knew it was addictive, but never knew it was this contagious
