Oh my god this one is soooo incredibly true :P

How about...
you see a viv and immediately wonder what you could put in it

You buy props specifically for your reptile photos

You go to reptile expos even if you don't plan on buying anything, JUST so that you can see more snakes

I have done this, although I drove it to a pond that was routinely stocked.

Thanks to all that posted, I REALLY ENJOYED this thread!

I am SO doing this if they come around again!
and I've taken turtles out of the road and put them on the ditch on the side that the appear to be attempting to reach. Scariest one was an adult Snapping Turtle, that sucker was HUGE. Picked him up by the very back of his shell and slid him across the road and into the creek.

you know you're an addict when...

the man at your fav reptile supplier not only knows you by name but has your order ready BEFORE YOU GET THERE

you and your spouse can not commit to having a baby but adding 4 more snakes to our collection is a no brainer

**millertime89** · 10-31-11, 10:39 PM

you know you're a herpaholic when your coworker says you have an unhealthy addiction to snakes, and you explain it by stating "its just another life that needs caring for" to explain why you're looking at pictures of 14 foot retics and 10 foot boas when you own a 2 foot rainbow boa.

You might be a herpaholic if...

...If you continue to refer to your snakes as "Baby", "Buddy", "Pal", "Dear", even when you know they could kill you and your fiance complains about the snakey baby talk.

....If you spend more time on Craigslist and reptile forums than you do on actual work during the day

....If every time you get a raise or a bill is lower than you expected that month, you start thinking about what snake you could theoretically get next.

...If as the years go by you find yourself adding more and more species you swore you'd never keep to your collection as your experience grows.

...If feeding day is the highlight of your week.

....If you see nothing wrong with discussing sheds, feedings, bowel movements and behavior over the dinner table, or anywhere else for that matter.

....If everyone at your work/school refers to you as "Snake Lady" and comes to you with any snake-related questions or anecdotes they might have.

Yup, I'm a full-on snake addict. Except, this is one addiction I really don't ever want to quit.

**lady_bug87** · 11-01-11, 08:44 AM

If when you find out that you don't have to live wit your folks and the first thought in your mind is "now I can get a couple other snakes"

I also got called for a job interview and my first thought was... Snake money!

**lady_bug87** · 11-01-11, 08:48 AM

You know it's bad when you're in your friends new nursery for her yet to be born son and you I mediately think this would be the perfect size for a reptile Room and then you ask her husband the dimensions of the room

Lankyrob · 11-01-11, 11:22 AM

.....when people ask if you have pics of your "baby" on your phone and you realise that out of 200 photos only 3 are of humans!

When you want a new house just for a reptile room

When you go to PetCo/PetSmart just to look at the animals
When you REALLY want the new Sims 3 expansion solely because it allows you to have snakes and lizards in it
