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

[StatikStepz]

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".

I disagree with this one.

...If you are a truly addicted to reptiles, then there is NO WAY that you can go to a reptile show, and NOT leave with something!!!! LOL! Even if you don't have the space or room for it, you will still somehow make it work! :main_laugh:

But yes, i do agree with the part about also going to build up your list of "dream herps" lol... (i'm guilty of this one too :main_yes

You know you're addicted to reptiles when you get more sleep on Christmas Eve, than you do on the Eve of the day you are expecting your reptile to be delivered to your door.

...And when you wake up in the morning (which is like 6-7am, cuz you were "getting ready" for the shipment to come, lol), you spend hours pacing back and forth, and going to look out the front window to see if you see the UPS/FedEx truck pulling up out front no fewer than 100 times. And when you finally do see the truck pull up, you're already standing outside of your front door, waiting for him to walk up, before he even puts the truck in park... in your pajamas and all.

lmao.

(Guilty.)

Well I disagree with your disagreement. lol.
Being addicted to reptiles doesn't mean you're a reptile hoarder, and hence you can go to show and leave empty handed. Also living in the dorms and acknowledging space restrictions (not to mention cross country travel after graduation) and having the forethought to take these things into consideration does not make one any less of an addict. That said, I had to be practically dragged away from the viper boa at the last show I went to...It was soooo reasonably priced, and feeding on frozen thawed mice!

You know you're a reptile addict when the answer to "it's me or the herps" is obviously "Herps!"

You know you're a reptile addict when the herbivorous reptiles eat better than you.

You know you're a reptile addict (or a college student) when the crickets eat better than you, gotta give them good gutload after all. :main_laugh:

I agree with BGalloway- you don't need to always get the reptile you see if you are addicted. All or most of the things in this thread are totally true for me, but I can usually resist getting that super cool new reptile (I instead fail to resist the new kind of feeder, the new tank, the cool cage furniture...).

Compared to people on here, I have few (9), but compared to what a 'normal' person thinks, I have a lot o' geckos. I don't really understand how one can keep bring home reptiles and not get totally overwhelmed. Unless you are as frequently getting rid of reptiles, I guess... but I keep all my animals for their life if I can at all help it. And thus have to plan for that with space, moving, feeding, time, etc. etc. Hells yes I would have a whole zoo of herps if I were independently wealthy and didn't have to work...



You know you're a reptile addict when you eat an apple a day not for keeping doctors away but so that your roaches can have the core.

You know you're a reptile addict when you bought a little refrigerator just for the mealworms when your roommates unexpectedly freaked out at finding them in the shared fridge.

... when you sit at work and wish you were at home playing with your reptiles
... when you're in a bad mood, you buy a new reptile, and your entire mood changes
... when you get overly excited that a new slithering, creepy crawly is being delivered.
