You know you're a gecko addict when...

[shiftygecko]

when you start having birthday parties for your geckos and try to invite all of their "friends"

 

[ariana]

1. when you start picking which drinks you buy based on the size of the lid (gotta have a bigger lid for more supplements of course)

2. when you stop freaking about the feeders

3. when your gecko has a first middle and last name and multiple nicknames

WHEN:
YOU start saving gecko poop.

YOU can leave home without your Visa
but not your gecko.

YOU carry a photo in your wallet of
"you guessed it."

YOUR home is on fire and the first
possession saved is "you guessed it."

YOU now believe the Geico Gecko is real.

YOU start eating meal worms and
thinking these quotes are "humoristic."

​

Your colors are coming in nicely as you mature

 

[Adinar]

Lol, these are all too good.

You start saving tupperware containers like crazy just because "they're perfect for a moist hide".

Take care. Hj

great thread!

...when you're driving down the road and the yellow lines open up for a center turn lane and you think to yourself, "ooh that would make an interesting morph."

I did that the other day. I imagined the entire road to be a giant geckos back. it felt weird to drive on the back of a gecko...

 

[PDoogle]

When you take out a student loan to buy more geckos....

 

[wakeskate420]

When you go through the furniture and storage sections and think of things you can make into enclosures

 

[UnicornSpirit]

When you say, "I can't go to the party, I have to clean my tank" when you honestly meant to say "my room".

You try to eat as many TV dinners as possible just to obtain enough disposable hides for your geckos.

You suddenly find yourself eating a more HEALTHY diet... only because the mealworm/superworm colony needs their ORGANIC, fresh vegetables.

You secretly have spent more on extravagant things for your geckos than your significant other/spouse.

Your other family members look in disgust as they reach in the fridge for some yogurt to pull out a cup of mealworms. There are many more from where that came from!

You make sure the stained wood/color of your rack matches the furniture/colors in the rest of your house. We don't want to make the geckos look bad, now do we?

You threaten your children with "force feeding" if they do not want to eat their veggies!!!


hahahaha lol I need to create more! This is fun, I almost think this thread may deserve a sticky if it gets really good. Even though it's not necessarily educational :}

LOL it IS educational! With all these signs you'll be able to tell if your addicted or not and be able to check yourself into gecko rehab.:main_laugh:

You know your addicted when you try to match up gecko morphs with your friends favorite colors to try and get them into geckos.

 

[IslaReina]

Wow GeckoGathering... those cakes are AMAZING!!! I am really enjoying this haha

 

[Reborn]

You know your addicted when you have more photos up of your geckos on your facebook/myspace/my year book then yourself or your family!

When they have there OWN myspace/facebook/myyearbook pages!

when every post you make on said sites are about the geckos in some way

 

[Dimelius]

Ask to Family to consume any kinds of foods that got a container that you will use for your geckos(right now got 2 boxes full of hides, mealworms-water-calcium cups...)

Ask to your brother to dont use Paper towel coz is the geckos ones, use the other.

Buy all kinds of food that can be used for mealworms and not for you.

 

[fuzzylogix]

You only buy the "select a size" paper towels when shopping....

You have dreams about your breeding projects... (all the freakin' time)

You buy a digital camera with macro zoom just for eye shots...

You can tell the difference in smell between regurge and poop... (trust me, i can tell)

You have fruits and veggies in a seperate fridge drawer just for your feeders...

Your Friday or Saturday nights now consist of cleaning tubs instead of bar hopping...

It takes you over an hour to feed and water...

You are constantly moving stuff around in your reptile room to make room for new racks...

[Joao]

When your girlfriend brings the following home. For what? You have no idea, but you get super excited and can't wait until the contents are gone so that you can make it a moist hide. :main_laugh:

When your kids are sick and you stick the corallife temperature probe under their armpit b/c you don't have a "human" thermometer!
