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When you and the local bums are the only ones that collect newspapers regardless of how outdated they can be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

[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.

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