Ive got a bunch that ive picked up over the years:

...your pet's dinner requuires care and feediing until it is served.

...you go hysterical when pet stores mix incompatible species in cages.

...you put little white crosses on the side of the road when you find DOR herps.

...your home loan and appraisal papers include pictures of your 12 lb. iguana who lives on your fireplace...

...you consider yourself a great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather at the age of 28.

...you own lots of plastic storage boxes, but can't use them because they all have holes cut in them for hide boxes!

...your annual house cleaning is done when an animal escapes!

...you buy shelves for new terrariums and supplies , and you already have 5 in your room.

...when you spend much of your spare time with a tape measure because you just know that you could fit a couple more cages in if you put them in side ways/on their sides/on top of each other... etc.

...the place you just rented is a real dump, but you don't mind it's so damp because there are rough skinned newts everywhere

this isnt even half of what i have Very Happy

ill post more later (after more people post theres Wink

)

... you choose a particular fast food joint because their burger boxes make good hide boxes.

... every time you walk by a public trash can you look for juice drink caps to make into water bowls for your hatchlings.

... a friend shows you their new cuddly fluffy pet and you cant help but wonder which one of your retics would down it the fastest.

...you have 5000 insects in your house but the last thing you would do is call an exterminator (guilty)

...you drive 5 hours to look at a herp show for 2 hours then drive back (guilty)
