The "you know your a herp addict when"thread

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

- You did not have a name in high school other than "snake girl"

- when you go to shows, random people walk up to you and say OMG, you are snake babe from (insert random site here), I know you!!!

- the most common pickup line guys use on you is "So I heard you like snakes, you wanna pet mine?"

- the other most common pickup line is "Oh, I have a snake. He's a one eyed spitting burmese python."

- you have to convince your mom on a daily basis that the bowl of dead rodents thawing on the counter HAS to be there.

- your mom calls you to tell you that she has fallen in love with the legless lizard, and after she mentioned that SHE, your MOTHER, who cringes at the site of said bowl of rodents...thawed 2 pinkies out on her very own and fed them to him, you view this as a major event in your life.

- you carry sterliziation pads, lubricant, and sexing probes at all times in your purse. (you should see the look on people's faces when they see those things in my purse LOL)

- your purse bears the photographs of two snakes in your own collection. Not your brothers or the dogs... your snakes.

- you frequently suffer from ECS. Empty cage syndrome.

- when the occasional hamster, mouse, parakeet or other small animal does not make it at work, (its rare but it happens) everyone knows to put it in a bag and stick it in the bottom part of the freezer for Shannon.

- The snake room is 100 times cleaner than the bedroom.

-The bedroom is slowly but surely becoming another snake room.

- you have already designed your future coffee table, end tables, and other furnitures to incorporate housing for snakes.

- you contemplate how to apply that idea to a bed.

- you are looking to buy a fridge that does NOT work!

- you constantly are looking at people's trash piles on trash night to make sure there are no good cages or furnitures that could BE cages.

- The reptile customers at your store refuse to be helped by anyone else but you.

- You had a snake's picture taken with Santa Claus.

- You had a professional photo taken of you and your dog, but also of course your favorite snake was there too.

- you get home from work starving, but you don't eat until you're done feeding snakes, and sometimes you just plain forget to eat.

- when drunk you begin incoherently venting about people that hate snakes.

- your boyfriend gets you an empty chocolate tin with a snake inside for Vday, and you do not care where the chocolates went. You have aleady recieved fine jewelry and a laptop from him on previous occasions, but this by far was the most well thought out BEST gift ever.

- you ask for gift cards to rodentpro.com, mud snakes, ten gallon tanks and hidey's for Xmas.

- you make excuses to yourself about why the fish tank really would be better off being dismantled and replaced with another herp enclosure.

- you often wonder if said fish contain thiaminase.
