You know your a herper when.........

[Noongato]

When you start thinking of getting snake skin themed -everything-

And when your new scarf actually makes you get colder

 

[blackthorn]

You know you're a herper when you start harvesting(6months in advance) as many card board boxes from work as you can to use as disposable hides for hatchies.

You know you're a herper when you actually consider breeding and cleaning/feeding a large number of rodents, and then actually do it.

 

[noidea]

You definately know your a hepraholic when it is more important to have a list of names for new reps then it is for the arrival of a new baby.

And also when your 5 year old tells you he had a dream his coastals(who are due to lay) hatch out a whole clutch of womas for him.lol.

You know your a herper when your partner and friends complain that they can't put anything in the freezer due to all the dead rats, mice, day old chickens and chicken necks.

You know your a herper when you get a strange look, when your at a mates place and tell them that one of their rooms is perfect for snakes.

You know your a herper when you would happily feed your 15yr old daughter to a scrubbie...........if you had one big enough............

You know you're a herper when you find yourself driving around sticks on the road 'just in case'.

 

[redbellybite]

Or stopping on the side of the road cause you thought there was movement in the grass ...............OR WHEN ANYONE IN TOWN SEE,S YOU AND ONLY TALKS SNAKES with you ,and their experiences or myths and "what do you think?"questions....

You know you're a herper when...

You're doing a project on BHP Billiton and all you can think about are actual BHP's

 

[slim6y]

You know your a herper when you would happily feed your 15yr old daughter to a scrubbie...........if you had one big enough............

you know your a herper when

- you know herp stands for herpetology and not lumps and bumps down there
this is a funny one at work when im always on sites like 'herp trader'
- you get weird looks from people on the train when your on the phone to your partner asking him to defrost some rats for the babies
- you give people a lecture when they tell you to use about parasites when then tell you to catch bugs from the wild
-when you ask your mum ‘instead of buying me a car can I have $5000 cash to buy a snake’, and you think it is totally normal to spend that amount of money on one
- when you read everyones post in this thread you said to yourself 'i do that'

 

[Excalibur]
