You know who Chewy is.

This made me laugh so bad I almost fell out of my chair.

You can guess the weight of a snake to within 20 grams.

Or... you're not a drug dealer but you measure weight in grams.

Haha i just changed the water in my tank on sunday and forgot to put the lid back on (i know dumb mistake). I went to the gym and did some shopping, came home 3 hours later and noticed what i did and my ball was still in his hide sleeping. lol.

Luuuuuuuuuuuucky!!!! I did that and spent almost five days looking for the sucker!!! And he was in the partially opened TOP drawer of my file cabinet (and said snake is 5' long!)

There are rats thawing out on your counter! (explain THAT one to the inlaws...bet they won't come over for dinner as often!!!)

The roomies' SWORE they were done for the night, so did that (in the bathroom) and upset them soooooo bad ................... <Stiffed me $700 after only five months, but at least they're gone now!>


Oh, and my mother knows not to complain when she comes to visit and digs in the freezer uninvited!


.......you buy a rat for feeding, (two different times) and they both turn into a pet, b/c they got too big by the time the snake was eating again. (True...how we ended up with our first two pet rats, Peekaboo and Scabbers!)

This made me laugh so bad I almost fell out of my chair.



Or... you're not a drug dealer but you measure weight in grams.

Or you're waiting for the day when the local law enforcement knocks on the door wanting to know about the red light in the window all night long.

(Hasn't happened yet...but just waiting to find out that a neighbor has "turned me in". )

...when you read all these posts and walk away wondering, "Are they spying on me?"
LOL XD
When your fiance complains you kiss your snake more than you kiss him.
...when you plan your feedings for your snakes just right so you'll always have one to hold during the other's 48 hour digesting period
When you try to show your snake-phobic mother the beauty of BP's mating, and don't understand why she gets goosebumps.
When you don't understand why everyone seemingly becomes very busy when you begin talking about the genetics of snakes.
when you realize you just posted like 5 "You might own a BP if..."'s and you didn't even have to think about it XD
hahaha
this thread made my night. Thanks guys

sorry double post :/

You own a food scale that has never actually been used for food.
You buy enough vermiculite to plant a greenhouse but don't own a garden.
You can't do anything on Tuesday because your male pastel requires a half hour zombie dance.
You know who Chewy is.
You can guess the weight of a snake to within 20 grams.

lmao the zombie dance..when u can accurately mimic a live rat with a dead one on tongs

You know you own a bp when your new house building plans include a snake room!

[Deadly_Legend]

When you talk to your buddies more about breeding projects you want to start more than the cute new girl at the pet store

You know you own a ball python when have to call your boss and let them know you are going to be late because you lost one of your balls...
