These are hilarious! Only because I can relate to almost all of them :)
I remembered another one...this happened last week.

- your spouse makes you hire an electrician to put in a separate, dedicated power outlet so that the power quits going out in the house due to all the gecko racks! Sad, but true...I personally think it has something to do with all the Christmas lights...but she's probably right. Thankfully I had a good friend who did it for free:)

Haha, thats a good one Paul!!! If I don't stay away from your house I am probably going to have to get your friend to put me a dedicated outlet in as well, lol.

-You are often caught baby talking to your geckos
-Your geckos recieve more kisses then your spouses ;)
-Your "collection" is worth more than your car.
-If you have well over 50-100 geckos and they all have names :p

- When you starts to believe your geckos are communicating with you...

- if you start to think every single gecko have his own personality and his own preference about life and friendship with human
- when you order like your christmans gift other geckos
- when you use your guest room like reptil room and send your friend to the hotel for sleeping when they caming for meet you and spend a week end with you :main_laugh: :main_laugh:

- When you can compare yourself to a fat kid in a bakery when you attend reptile shows.
- You know more about genetics than your bio teacher.
- You speed home just to take a look at your geckos.
- You have your little brother send pictures of your leos via camera phone when you miss them away at college.
- Have taught everyone of your family members how to care for your leos if something may happen.
- Your mom has excepted her frozen vegetables will be sharing freezer space with blood worms (I used to have a newt LOL)
- Your father who is a car freak took you to your first reptile show and enjoyed himself almost more than you did just because he was suprised at the information you knew.
- At 18 you are spending your christmas money on a incubator for breeding this summer.
- You convinced your mom you have a bio project to breed leos to get her approval even though you're an art major.
LOL all of these are true for me!

OH one more...
- When your UTH croaks, you put your playstation against your tank and keep it running all night to keep your little buddy warm untill you get another one the next day.

Yeah that was an interesting night. It worked! Don't know how I thought of that idea. I guess you make solutions for your problems when you need to.

LOL, been there! Fortunately, my son does have his room back now that I have a tiny gecko room!

Practically all of these are true for me as well! :)

Ok, I don't have any finals to study for - but I should be making one right now. Oooh and that pile of term papers.... Forget it! I'm staying here! :main_laugh:

-When you sneak some geckos into your house without your spouse knowing only to explain yourself a couple of weeks later, "I've had them for a while already honey...I told you remember?"

-When you had to choose between paying your property taxes on time or going to the Tinley park show and spending it all. (Guess which one I chose!):main_evilgrin:
