Tim and I just celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary and were together for 6 years prior. We are inseperable. If we aren't at work we are together. Though we do have our own bank accounts and our own herps and herp supplies. He doesn't touch my stuff, but he hasn't said anything about me not touching his. The only thing I won't help with is the snakes, but he doesn't mind You just need to find the "right" person. Other than that we share the food bills for all the animals. Whoever gets paid first, buys first LOL

You aren't alone Lisa. I'm a mom of 3! As for the female herpers, there are quite a few at our local society meetings but most at least have a SO of some sort (fiance, BF, etc.) I'm really impressed though with the number of younger people getting involved. My three daughters will eventually be in the SFH category but that will be in another 13+ years since they are only 3 1/2 yrs old. Also, my DH isn't a herper but does like the snakes, especially since he has seen what a blood grows like!! LOL, We have triplets, own pythons, and are both black belts in Tae Kwon Do, he figures this puts us on some "cool people to know" list. LMAO, men!! By the way, I think I'm quite normal and people are usually a little shocked that I keep snakes, especially around my children since they can eat them right? I love educating people.

"you like reptiles, so you're insane, but we can work around that."

Haha!! Good stuff.

I think I prefer being single unless it's someone who IS into reptiles. Otherwise they just get bored of me doing animal stuff so often.

I'm a herper girl too. Not so young, though, and I'm also not single. Been married for 10 years now. Been seriously herping for 5. I have always had a love of animals and reptiles in particular but I never got out much and living in a little hick town there were no pet stores that carried herps. I got my first herps in 1999 from a friend ( I was young and nieve and didn't realize it was a wild caught native species at the time, once I found out more about it I relieced them back into the area she got them and when herp searching in near by Ottawa, found my first bearded and it continued from there. My daughter is now officially a herper chick as well, she got her first snake last week end. She's 9 1/2. My husband on the other hand is not an animal person and is somewhat afriad of my lizards. He is terrified extremely of snakes. He made the terrible mistake of letting me get my first snake for mother's day. We now have 3. lol. Just tiny ones though, 2 corns and my daughter's sinaloan milk.
Before my herps I had other exotic animals, hedgies, dwarf hamsters, dwarf rabbit, and a pug dog. They have all passed since and although I miss them I have to say the herps are the best of my pets.

Oh, and Martin, nice to see you around again. Hope all is well with you. The albinos are doing great, I have nearly a dozen babies and the girls were starting to slim a bit but since I took caesar away from them they are doing great. Oh, and you should see him, he is huge now, you wouldn't believe he was the same little gecko from last summer. lol. He's a cutie!! And the girls are very handlable now and they stoped biting a couple months after I got them. Thanks again.

Well to be honest, I come onto this site to contact others with interests in herps and to learn about reptile keeping. I don't consider the net to be a dating source. If I were to meet someone through this site or any other that would be cool but it is not something I actively seek. Women in the outside world are rather abundant.
