You go to "have a look" at your local reptile shop and leave with almost $100 missing from your wallet, but cant manage to buy yourself a new pair of sunnies that coast $15 after yours have been missing for a couple months

when someone says they are buying a new monitor and you exclaim "I didn't know you liked reptiles, you should come and see my snake!!" but they actually meant for their computer...
...less exciting, in my opinion

When you pack your bag for hospital again and manage to smuggle your lizard out the house and in the car before your sister runs out and says 'give him here!!!' and you hand him over with a deathstare. when waiting to have a 2nd lumbar puncture done the dr is talking about what animals he hit while on a trip to Darwin and you ask if he hit any snakes or lizards, when the answer is no you start to think he might be a good guy until he sticks a 6" needle in your back and the local didn't work but you have to remain still. Then you start namecalling in Greek,Japanese, Chinese and Australian slang

When you already knew the scientific name of every pet you have and a bunch more years before you got them and actually forget to speak normally to people who don't know them causing great annoyance at you. :|

Life changing opportunities don't come to often, But the for sale section always has reps if it doesn't work out O.S. by that time they'll be cheaper too

When you just read 13 pages and 374 posts of reason why you're a reptile keeper.
When your chiropractor asks how's things and what's new? Without missing a beat you automatically reply "Good, snake breeding season has started." To which he seems stunned and confused at your answer.

When you break your toe stubbing it on an enclosure (happened to me 2 weeks ago) and the first thing people say when you tell them you have a broken toe is, "I bet that had something to do with your snakes."

Your 13 and your already got your whole life planned out: including types of animals you will keep, projects u want to work on, all your enclosures have to be perfect custom tanks and enclosures that will cost a bomb!
Your mum thinks your frogs are cute when u first got them but thinks they are dam ugly now that they are "big" ( I still love them though)
You already have a job at the local pet shop due to buying so many boxes of crickets!
People come to you at work and call u by your aps name ( scary! )
Your 13 and know the "Big Boys" in the reptile industry
Your 13 and u have a sketch book that u draw all your future enclosures in.
Your 13 and your frogs slough, your mum thinks it is horrible and wants to vomit, & u think it is fascinating!
Your at school in visual arts and am told to make a mythical creature but it "accidentally" turns out as a snake coiled around a rock!....
You have shown your mum so many pictures of reptiles and amphibians that she coudnt care less any more!
Your 13 and ask your mum if you can have a taipan as your first snake!... To her reply of " I don't want a little poison dart in my house!"
The only snake your mum will touch is the pretty green one ( green tree python ) as she spent like the " ugly " brown ones
Your 13 and your mum will no longer take u to herp meetings as they stress her out to much and she doesn't understand anything anymore!...
You crack up laughing in class when your science teacher says "diamond pythons come from the desert of central Australia" and everybody seems to believe her
When you ace your assignments and your teachers ask where u get all these great ideas from and you reply, " it comes from some awesome hobbies of mine"
Your 13 and already know what u want to be when u grow up ( a reptile and amphibian vet )
That was just a couple I could think of! Tell me if I should post more......
School reasons,
When suddenly u make more friends once someone knows that u have cool pets
When some comes to give a presentation on reptiles and some says that a frilled neck lizard is a skink u crack up Into non stop laughter
Know one knows why u do so good on tests on animals!
When some calls a picture of an echidna and calls it a porcupine! Lol
When someone truly thinks that toads are hairy, to your reply " does that make a frog spiny! "
When your neighbor is a professional photographer and comes over and says can I get some pictures of u and your rabbit for a essay I have to do? And you reply " I haven't got a rabbit... but I have got reptiles and amphibians, will they be good?.... Lol
