    Re: How You Know You Are A Real Herper!

    From Melissa Kaplan's Herp Care Collection, Part I

    ...your pet's dinner requuires care and feediing until it is served.

    ...you go hysterical when pet stores mix incompatible species in cages.

    ...you put little white crosses on the side of the road when you find DOR herps.

    ...your home loan and appraisal papers include pictures of your 12 lb. iguana who lives on your fireplace...

    ...you consider yourself a great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather at the age of 28.

    ...you own lots of plastic storage boxes, but can't use them because they all have holes cut in them for hide boxes!

    ...your annual house cleaning is done when an animal escapes!

    ...you mention to your husband that it will soon be time to babyproof your home because your baby will be "big enough to free-roam soon."

    ...when neighborhood kids refer to your house as a zoo (my friends do this)

    ...when your kids get kicked out of school for something they brought to show and tell

    ...when the last thing your daughters boyfriend has to worry about is a gun

    ...The Discovery Channel wants to send a film crew to your house.

    ...you comment that the little rodent feet sticking out upside down in your snake's mouth are cute!

    Just go to this site, it has pages and it's only part I!

    Re: How You Know You Are A Real Herper!

    This cracks me up! I couldn't be considered a "real herper" (yet), but I do understand that most of my friends, family and co-workers think I'm quite odd for having four snakes and refer to them as my little babies!

    No your not the only one.. My husband says every time.. " you dont wanna know what these are for" Then they try to over charge you like you dont know how many you got and not realizing you counted like eight times going.. I really needed a few more but I'll take what I can get..

    Re: How You Know You Are A Real Herper!

    Oh...and 2 of my all-time faves:

    You might be a herper if...

    Your other half tells you to choose between him & the snakes, and you're AMAZED at how many more racks you can fit into your place now that all of his crap is out of there...

    *and*

    You've ever popped a snake & someone remarks, "Whoa, check out the hemipenes on him!"
