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

[GeckPhotographer]

When you go to a wedding and between the ceremony and reception you go herping down the road in your best suit!

Waded knee deep in water looking for Booroolong frog after skipping the reception.

when your that bored you herp at your grandfathers funeral ._.

Was not bored but the funeral house had logs in its garden how could one resist flipping them over.


-When you started the cricket infestation in your house by throwing live crickets at O.lesueurii, P.platurus, E.tenuis and Antechinus stuartii (all wild)running around your house.
-When you glare at anyone who even looks like they are thinking about touching your Cogger Ed6.
-When you argue with your biology teacher about reptiles.
-When you argue with your biology teacher about chytridiomycosis.
-When you compare different reptile licensing systems in your spare time to decide where you will move to in your future.
-When you plan your holiday based on the animals with no picture or AROD or in Field guides.

When for every large glass panelled door you see, you wonder "would that fit between the glass tracks?"

- When you check on your herps just before going to bed, and end up watching them for the next hour... (happens every night)
- When you go to sleep to the sound of your pair of geckos digging

When you fall asleep sitting up because you've let your bearded dragon have your pillow.

 

[phantomreptiles]

When you go to put the leftovers in a plastic container and they all have holes in them......:lol:

When your beardie hogs the blankets and hisses at you with eyes closed (coz you know he's asleep) if you take any blanket.

 

[snakeluvver]

When you get 2 pink tongues and check on them every 5 mins...

 

[LizardLady]

I sooooooooo love this thread Lambert! Sadly, I can relate to pretty much all of it...!

When you fall asleep sitting up because you've let your bearded dragon have your pillow.

These two make me want a beardie so badly now. I didn't know they were so sociable.

your sister walks in your room and says 'uhhh rhiannon...'

[snakeluvver]

When you get a scholarship, your mum asks you what you want as a reward and without skipping a beat say "Beardie"
lol may be getting one in a few months wooo hoo

 

[MissSnake]

Dude if you can get anything you want....why get a beardie lol. Get a monitor or some cool skinks.

 

[KaotikJezta]

Nothing wrong with beardies if that is what he wants, I have all sorts of things people would consider cooler than beardies but I still got beardies recently.

I already have some cool skink
I was thinking about monitors but at the moment I dont really have anything I can handle much, so I'd like a beardie cos they're friendly haha

You see a grasshopper, and spend the next twenty minutes running around the back yard trying to catch it. When you finally catch it you take it strait inside and present it to your beardie as a treat, and then sit and watch him happily munching away.

You also love Christmass beetles for same. . .

[mysnakesau]

When asked of a rodent's lifespan your answer takes into account such things as the size of the snake its being fed to.

you've ever contemplated the possibility of using a scrub python for home security.

you and your friends spend hours comparing and bragging about snake bites.

owners of pomeranians and chihuahua's regularly hold vigils (intentional periods of staying awake) in your front yard.
