You sneak half of the stuff the goes into the recycle box back out when your significant other isn't looking.

[susan]

when your in your wedding dress at the reception and your in back looking for critters

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

-Your neighboors have a lab mouse/rat infestation.

-Swat comes to your door, after a tip-off from the power company that you are using twice as much power as the average house, and they ask you if you are growing pot. They come in and see how many heating elements you have and write your house off as a fire hazard.

(ok that was waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy toooooooo looooonnnnnggggg)

-Your snakes have a better sex life than you

-The neighboors ask "what's that smell", and you reply: "what smell?"

-You family is too embarassed to come to your house because they dont want anyone to see them with you

-Your Gradma faints when she finds an escapee crawling through your bathroom. You shouldn't have kept your herps(more than a few..................................hundred!) "secret"

Haha ok some of those were pretty lame but I made them up myself. Anyways, There is like, 10 pages of them on N.E.R.D .

- when you buy tons and tons of rubbermaids

- when people see you outside cutting down trees and taking rocks back to your house (maybe just me :p)

AND your proud of it!

-your standing in line at the store and some one says, hey do those make good pets, and you say, hm never thought of that.

-You check the "free to good home" ads daily, yet have no desire to own a mammal

-Your freezer is full but the kids whine that there's nothing to eat!

-You ask to borrow your friend's pet tree frog to rub a mouse on for that picky feeder.

-Your girlfriend tells you to choose between her & the snakes, and not only do you tell her you'll miss her, but calculate how many shoebox racks will fit in her half of the closet.

-You've ever popped a snake & somebody says, "Wow! Check out the hemipenes on him!"


i copied alot of thes from the nerd site

[TheRedDragon]

-When someone walks into your house and says, "holy smokes it's sweltering in here!" And you say, "What are you talking about?" (Our house is always around 85 degrees :p)

-When there's more food for your pets in the freezer than for youself.

-When you see a rabbit hopping around in the parking lot and the first thing you say is, "Wow! My boa constrictor would love THAT!"

[sapphire_moon]

----when you can stand in the rubbermaid section for HOURS, but give your gf/bf a max time of 5 minutes for their shopping

----any thing square can be of possible use as a new cage.

---- you have a bedroom, but no bed (Borrowed from n.e.r.d! lol)

----You own TONS of rubbermaids, but store nothing.

----You can make anything fit into the back of a truck :) (or trailor)

----you have ever microwaved soup in a bowl (the instant kind) and a mouse at the same time....

----if you have ever had to clean mouse guts off of anything!

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

Haha, I notice almost 90% of all these are off N.E.R.D. But they have a good list!

C.

Another one from NERD is: You feel guilty picking out your "pet rabbit" in front of some bunny loving kids.

[crossley]

You see a really cute girl in the checkout line at Zeller's with a bunch of rubbermaids and wonder "is she a herper or does she just have alot of sweaters".

[Yness]

I like that last one!!!

When you buy a large container of margarine...and you never eat the stuff (container = hide...its a stretch but hey...I find that I am not the wittiest person)

[lanceinhispance]

when you make your food and your snakes food right next to each other

[daver676]

-When your emptying cracker into Ziploc bags so your snake can have a bigger hide.

-When the lady at the pet store says "This is your fourth rat this month. Can I interest you in a rat care book?" (get a clue lady :rolleyes: )

[nicola_boulton]

when your favorite website is................... www.ssnakess.com


yey!

[JimmyDavid]

...When you consider that global warming is not such a bad thing.

[BoAddict]

when you have nothing but rats and rabbits in your freezer

thats me

and what its not hot in here this is normal my place is almost always in the 80's

guilty as charged

[JimmyDavid]

When your shopping memo lists RATS under FOOD

When you and the local bums are the only ones that collect newspapers regardless of how outdated they can be

[Neo]

when you can hold 2 chop sticks in one hand, look at a cricket you poured out on a plane and chop off both its jumping legs in one strike before feeding it to a lazy gecko with bad aim

[JimmyDavid]

When you don't mind paying extra for an apartment WITH roaches.

If you've seen ANACONDA and always thought Sarone was the good guy because he's actually the only one trying to keep the snake alive.

[Dragon_Slave]

- When you look in the newspaper everyday in hopes to find a good deal on a reptile, or to look for one you can adopt!

- When you come home with a bag full of stuff and everyone in your family knows it's all for the herps.

- When you hated collard greens until you saw that your bearded dragon loves them, tried them and love to eat them now.

***when you find a cabinet/shelf/or pretty much anything and stare at it, secretly planning ways to convert it into a reptile habitat***

Guilty as charged!! LOL.... Even the DH is starting this.

[Phoenix]

When your proud of your boa's one foot fecal.

[reptiguy123]

When you buy swamp land in Florida!

[nita]

When you buy your margarine in the 3kg square tub cause the container is perfect for hatchlings!! LOL....

Caught myself doing this when i went grocery shopping yesterday!!

[bistrobob85]

when you talk about reptiles in your sleep... now thats getting pretty serious here!

[Tim and Julie B]

1. When you can justify $25 for crickets, but opt not to get the $25 hair cut to save money

2. When your glad you have to take the caps off empty pop bottles and ask others at the recycling depot for thiers. (perfect water containers for small gecko hatchlings)

3. When you buy the small expensive yogurts even though the larger ones are cheaper. (like I'd pass up the incubator containers)

4. "What recycling honey?"

5. When the young girl in the pet store freaks out when you walk by with a bag of crickets and some flat frozen mice you say, "Oh, don't worry they don't taste that bad. And besides, it's already dead and won't feel anything."

6. When you drive all over town looking for cheap rubbermaids even though the gas pretty much blew that idea.

7. When rubbermaids go on sale, you buy 50 and then scramble for a place to put them before you significant other gets home. ("But honey, I was just planning ahead")

8.When your friends come over and want ice, and you say go for it and they have to move frozen rodents to get at it, but think nothing of it.

Julie B

I definately agree with the ones about turning everything into a cage!:D

[Invictus]

Here's one close to the heart...


... you have HUNDREDS of dollars worth of tupperware LIDS in your kitchen... because your snakes have all the tupperware containers for water dishes.

[Ixidor]

The people in the small rodents section of the petstore give you dirty looks :P

lol something like that actually happened to me. our neighbor was having a party and got the cops called on him.. and well you can tell from our window that we use flourescent lights because its not as bright as the other apartments. well the cops knocked on our door and asked if it were ok to look around because they could tell what lights we were using lol.
