You know you're a repti-holic when....

[StatikStepz]

I'm not sure if this is a thread already, but I figured I'd give it a try...

If you are addicted to herps, whether it be geckos, snakes, lizards, whatever... post a funny "You might be addicted to reptiles if......" or "You might be addicted to reptiles when....." LOL (Kinda like the "You might be a redneck if..." jokes!)

This should get to be pretty funny when you start to see what others write...

 

[StatikStepz]

...So i'll start!

You know you're addicted to reptiles when your girlfriend gives you 2,000 superworms, and 500 roaches as a birthday gift!!! (And you are super excited about it!) LOL!!

(Today is my birthday, and thats what I got! LOL!)

You Might be Addicted to Reptiles if..... your driving down the street and see a 2ft cottonmouth and you jump out the car to check it out but forget to put the car in park and almost run yourself over!!!

You know you're addicted to reptiles when the DEA swarms your house because they think you are growing Marijuana, because between the heaters, lights, racks and incubators, your electricity bill has doubled since you have started keeping them!

(This one did NOT happen to me, I just thought it'd be funny!)

 

[PetVet]

^ I met a guy who used to breed saltwater fish and corals and since he needed expensive 2000$ metal halide lights which are used for grow ops he had 20 officers swarm his house with a warrant and all they found growing were some coral frags
he got out of that after that
although I did meet him while snorkeling in DOM. Rep lol

 

[PetVet]

Haha! I have a friend who a neighbor thought was a witch for the longest time because her bedroom always glowed red bc of her heat lamps...they finally asked her and she just kind of stared for a bit and finally told them that she has snakes and the light was for them. I think they would have preferred to assume she was a witch though lol.

You know you're addicted to reptiles when you go to shows, not to buy anything, but to ooh and aah over the latest crazes and build up your list of "dream herps".

You know you're addicted to reptiles when you volunteer with your school's collection/local zoo/wherever there's a lot of herps just so you can work with all the cool species you want but don't have room for at home.

"And to get valuable experience in the husbandry of a variety of exotic animal species" is how you put the above on your resume.
