~ Yoda (2008-2020), you loved me more than life!!
when your mum walks into your bedroom and your holding your hatchling then later say 'you don't like her do you'
mum: 'no *shudders*'
me: 'why she didn't hurt you?'
mum: 'she looked at me!!!'

/My house is know as the managery (sp?), my house smells of rats caz we have so many breeding for our snakes yet i cant smell it, people refuse to come into my house or go near my "spare"(reptile) room, every junk pile i go past i am constantly looking for book shelfs, tv units and draws i can make into snake tanks, i bug the hell out of my patner to get rid off all the pointless fish in our 8ft tank so i can make it in to a home for the diamond and the carpet, my local petshop knows how many pinkies i need each week for my babies, my 16month old is a bigger animal person then both me n my partner put together, when your friend u havent seen since school messages you saying they are in thialand and just seen a real life cobra and thought of you because i have a weird thing for snakes and when its 2degrees outside yet ur reptile room is sitting between 25-28 degrees

-when your friends children call you "snake lady" and not by name
-when you get a date that leads to the bedroom and they run off coz there is snakes in there too, not just the loungeroom
-when you prioritize playing with the snakes before playing with the dog
-washing my hands and arms well after work (meatworks) coz you know your going to get one of them out when you get home

When you can't believe that people think pythons are the most venomous.
When everyone sends you photos of snake hoax emails and think they are the first to send it too you. Then argue with you to say it's not a hoax.
When you get calls from relatives of work mates that heard you keep them and want to come over and see them. Then freak out when you bring one out...
When everyone at work jokes about you going home to play with your albino snake.
When your sick and tired of arguing with the ranger that the snake your holding is a carpet python, while he's telling you its a childrens, and he knows this because he just attended a snake awareness course. You politely tell him about your collection inside and he asks if you have a licence for them.
When you shake your head at people that climb onto chairs to get away from a carpet python because they (pythons) can't climb. They then freak out more when you say they can.
Lots more, but i should probably do some work.

When your driving down the road and you get all excited about a snake on the side of the road, then realise its a piece of bark.
When you have an important appointment to get too but still stop and try to chase down a Gouldii that went into a hollow tree on the ground.
When the thought of walking through the bush is pointless, unless your looking for reptiles.

When an old guy talks about a 15ft Diamond python eating a baby in Bundaberg and your mum has to kick you to stop you saying anything. (Happened to me on the weekend 
)
When you walk into the science store room with your friends at school to get an experiment out of the freezer, your friend opens it and screams at the frozen rats there (for dissection the yr 12's do) and you dont even blink.

When your on a beach field trip with your school and someone calls out that they see a big skink, and you almost faint with excitement, then feel like dying when it runs off before you see it

I have a list of things printed on the back of a jumper. My favourite is this ones..
'You know you're a snake lover if you don't mind having dead rats in the freezer next to the ice cream'
'You see nothing wrong with keeping a tub full of cockroaches in your living room.'

You know you're a reptile keeper when you see a little boy buying his first guinea pig and you wonder what he is going to feed it to,

*When your friends come round for parties they know the ice cubes are kept next to the micicles.
*Yearly rental inspections are really fast:
"What's THAT?"
"Proserpine Carpet. Do you want to hold her?"
"It can't get out, can it?"
"No, but she's a pussycat."
"How many other rooms to do you have these things in?"
"All of them."
"Well, the place looks fine, that should be fine, any problems? No? Good, see you then."
Exit estate agent.
*When searching for a new house, you turn down otherwise suitable properties because they don't have decent tank space or a nice outdoor basking area.
