completely obsessed with my BP!!! is it normal?

[Johar]

well, since i've always wanned a snake when i was alittle boy but couldn't cuz my mom wouldn't let me , i've become completely thinking about my BP.

lol, my wife is getting kinda jealous here. i noticed that i talk alot about snakes at work, i even had a dream of having another snake!! but my wife kicked my *** for it!!.. whenever i get home before i eat lunch i get to work on my new setup. i check on her twice a day!! and when i hold her so gently , my wife would be like "as if she understands how you feel!!" .. "women!!!"

anyways, am i turning into a snake freak? lol. what do you think.. maybe i should hide my feelings alittle bit.

Hey man
I do not think you're obsessed at all!!
I know EXACTLY how you feel, because my boyfriend treats me the same way......."do you take pictures of anything other than snakes?....... do you talk about anything else?....can you wear other rings besides your snake ones?............why do we have to go to the reptile show...??? ......why did you bring a snake with you?.." , not to mention people at work as well as the neighborhood kids call me "The Snake Lady", and my friends who still work at the pet store are always calling me with questions about snakes because I'm more knowledgeable than ANYONE that works there.

You're certainly not alone. At work my boss calls me 'parselmouth' (from Harry Potter.. it's a person who talks to snakes) and the people who work in the reptile section at work (petsmart) come and ask me questions all the time. I'm sitting in an 80 degree room with 23 snakes right now.. my computer wallpaper is a pic of my blood python.. and I'm wearing a snake ring too. I think I'm pretty far gone..

Shelby,
already have the "i speak parseltogue" t-shirt, along with many other Slytherin house t-shirts purchased at Hottopic, along with my vast collection of snake jewelry, snake statues/figurines, plush snakes, and any other snake collectibles and memorabilia that has struck my fancy over the years....already went over the edge.....

I'm not THAT bad, but whenever I come home from a long day at class all I want to do is sit around and hang out with the little guy ^__^ I baby talk to him all the time, and my friends have complained that I "gush over him". And my favorite day of the week....FEEDING DAY! =P Caring about your animals is never an obsession, no matter what kind of critter it is! ^__^

Yep. I've got a 4' plush snake wrapped around the foot of my bed, and hog island boa sheds wrapped around the head of the bed.. there's boa sheds around my curtain rods, and anaconda sheds wrapped around the outside of my lampshade..

I think people like us speak a different language than "other" people.......heh heh

[myballsandmyword]

who knows where the "you know you are a herp when . .. ." thread is at? I looked every where for it, this would be good reading for this guy, as yes I believe snakes can become obsessive, heck Its the 1st thing besides my car that I have spent $$$ on in 7 years!
