you know you're a reptile keeper when...

[LullabyLizard]

When your kept awake at night by the sound of crickets

When your on APS at school... where I am right now (My study periods have turned into APS periods...)

When your driving on a highway or country road 'spotting'... and when you see one, you slam on the brakes and jump out

When you have to explain every rental inspection... "Yes, they are not venomous. No, they can't attack you. No, they can't break through the glass..." (They were Levis Levis...lol)

when your landlord is your mums old work college and says yes to all the reptiles you want!!!

 

[Tinky]

When people at work suddenly 'start', or become distracted when talking to you, because your screen saver has switched on and now one of your reptiles is looking at them from your monitor.

When you use a "gift" for your partner as an excuse to get more animals. (this way if they say I have too many I can say but half of them are yours)

When, at age 7, you get into a fight with another kid's 40 something year-old parent:

Parent: "Oh my God! Kids! Kids! STAY AWAY! There's a King Brown on the lawn!"
Me (7): "Pffff as if you'd get one this far east of the dividing range."
Parent: "Honey, trust me, it was!"

Outcome = stick
