...If you use chlorhexadine to clean your house

...If your doodles during class consist of punnet squares

...If someone asks you what your life goals are, and you respond with a list of ball python morphs!

Yep.
Punnent squares or snakes…in Bio class!
And yep.

if the pet store owners know you by name.

the hardware store employees asks about next projects.

you try and find out your weight in grams.

Owners, managers, employees…everyone!
All the time. That place is my toy store.
Been there, done that.

When co-workers assume you like all creepy things!

When co-workers look at you in fear and awe when you discuss your animals!

Change those ‘co-workers’ to professors and fellow students and you got me.

When your family members dont even ask anymore how many snakes you have.. They just roll their eyes

When a "nice rack" no longer has to do with cleavage

when you refuse to keep your snakes/racks/exc in any other room besides your bedroom in fear someone will want to steal your private collection, the tvs, computers, exc however go without notice... Who cares if they get stolen!

when the guy at the post office refers to you as the "snake girl"

when your husband asks you what you want for your birthday and you reply "a temp gun!"

when you run home and the first thing you do is check on your reptiles.

Yes to each and every one with the exception that I already have a temp gun, so I would ask for a new corn snake (they’re cheaper).

if every time you meet one of your SO's friends or family members they say "Oh, you're the one that likes snakes, right?"

(That didn't get old at the wedding last weekend at all!)

lol.. what a great thread!!

*When you get green with envy when looking at other peoples snake rooms and their multiple racks

*When you think constantly about what herp your going to get next to take up your empty enclosure

*When you except your room being 79 degrees when you would MUCH rather it be much colder but because you sacrifice and have your snakes in your room you deal with the ambient temp being higher

*You refer to the temp in your room "ambient"

*When you buy a new sodering iron and wonder why it cant make holes faster.. what is that thing actually supposed to be for?!

*When you open your utility closet in your home and find a huge bin full of "left over" mice and super worms... instead of the typical utility closet.

*When those little drawer things you get to hold pens have only ever held super worms

*You know that chicken meal/scratch makes GREAT feed for super worms

*You have a 5lb bag of baby carrots in your fridge, not because you would actually eat them but because the super worms do

[LadyOhh]

If when you get a new one, and tell your SO, "I swear this is the last one for a while" and they just sigh and roll their eyes... (and even you know you are lying)

[ADEE]

so true heather... so true! lol

[tosha]

when your interviewing some one and one of the questions is how they feel about snakes..and then take their response into to serious consideration before you hire them...

when one of your complaints about not being about to find someone to date is that most are scared of your snake...

and if your snake doesn't seem to respond 'well' to bf, you dump them...lol

[patb201985]

if every time you meet one of your SO's friends or family members they say "Oh, you're the one that likes snakes, right?"

if everytime you meet one of ur So friends & family members and they say "How many snakes do you have NOW !" when u say the # they say "OMG"!

[BrucenBruce]

When you write out checks for the monthly expenses, and as you slip them into envelopes you kind of sigh and grumble "Pied" (mortgage), "Lesser" (Electric) "Pinstripe" (Insurance) - and so on . . .

[Jay_Bunny]

A lot of these are so true for me.

- when you are considering getting a seperate credit card just for snake expenses

- when your feeder bill and feeder colony bill costs more than your own food bill.

- when you SO sits next to you and rolls their eyes as they realize many of these things are true.

- when people ask you how many kids you have, you say the # and they look at you like your crazy. Then you have to explain that they are not of the human variety.

- when a co-worker approaches you and asks you if you want any mice and is willing to allow his mice to keep breeding just so you can have some feeders.

[ajeff]

You have a whole room dedicated to reptiles.

People complain about a mouse and or rat problem... then again, so do you... why are they not breeding!

You ever explained genetics to some one and they looked at you with a look as a blank sheet of photo copy paper

You hit up breeders birthing records and available page on your cell phone on the clock at work! (I do this)

You get tagged and the first thing you do is grab a camera

A "closet case" to you, simply means you keep snakes in a closet

You have been called "crazy" and often hear, "you keep what!?"
