You Know Your a Herper When ...

[Angelrose]

Your bf/gf leaves you and you don't even realize it until after all the eggs hatch.

when you budget mice, bugs etc. into your weekly food bill.



...............What Can You Add

[worldeater]

you're bedroom is 20 degrees warmer than the rest of the house and you hate the heat.

you're cat walks into your room like he's about to get ambushed by the veitcong army.

people ask you if you're a cutter from all the scratches on your arms.

you see a bug and you're first thoughts are how easy is it to breed?

the petstore girl starts bagging up goldfish as soon as she see's your car.

you find lizard shedding in your pockets when doing laundry.

you're roomate is terrified of the cardboard box in the freezer.

lol, these are all personal experiences.

[Alek]

you have would chips every were

a nice light bulb collection

more reptile bowls then your own :)

when you want to build a zoo in your backyard or in one of your spare rooms :lol:

when you hangout at the tegu.com forum and other forums related to the scaly ones :wink:

find your self in a conversation with people about reptiles and thinking to your self do they really understand or care what I am talking about :?: 8O :lol:

have a pair of giant of tweezers

a probing kit

a collection of light timers

[worldeater]

find your self in a conversation with people about reptiles and thinking to your self do they really understand or care what I am talking about :?: 8O
LOL, all the time! or to finish a conversation just to find out the person had no idea you were speaking english and has that glassy vacant look in there eyes (happens when i talk about guns too)

LOL, you have to use a shop vac for your room!

[Angelrose]

yes ditto ! you realize your the only one talking.

and you worry about what the neighbors are thinking when they see all the red lights coming from your windows.

your nails look like you have a dirty job from flipping and mixing mulch.

[Srakha]

when there are hundreds of frozen dead rodents in your freezer and you're ok with that.

when you PAY for hundreds of frozen dead rodents.

when you can pick up a mealworm and not go EEWWW.

when you go to the reptile show and pick up JUST ONE MORE reptile.

when you belong to reptile message boards ;)

[Alek]

When you wonder what would happen if you crossed a water dragon and iguana or a bearded dragon and a Uro :?: 8O

when your at work and can't wait to get off so you go home and work again for your royal pets :?

When you take your Tegu or water monitor to a dog park :D

when you get overly excited that a reptile show is in town :o :D :lol:

[Ben3233]

When you are feeding them more properly than you are feeding yourself.

When you take them for a walk instead of your dog.

When people are talking about their cat and dog and ask you what kind of dog/cat you have, your answer is : Cat? Dog? The only thing I have are reptiles.

[txrepgirl]

:cry: I don't know what to say because YOU ALL are very good at this :wink: .
Angelrose :cry: you were faster than me again.I wanted to post about the red lights :lol: .

:? :roll: when your neighbors kids can't wait to come over to look at the reptiles.

When the sales person at the fish market already knows what the fish is for.Oh,I went to a new HEB ( store ) today and I asked for a small cat fish filet.He picket one up and I sad no, smaller please.I would like to have the smallest one you have.He looked at me really strange ( like, that little women needs to eat more.Why is she getting just one very small filet :lol: ).I looked back at him and smiled and sad that is for my Tegus.He sad FOR WHAT ? I sad.Those are lizards.Of corse I told him to check out our Tegu forum :lol: .The one sales person from that one HEB that I usually go to already knows us :lol: .

When you are running out of enclosures and space for new ones.
When you start with one and end up with seven reptiles.
When every time you find out that someone is not taking care of there reptiles you want to adopt it.
When you can't help bragging about the reptiles you have.Even when you know that people don't care or think that you are out of your mind.
When your next door neighbor is to scared to come over ( our neighbors wife :lol: ).
When you can't stop watching them to see what they are doing next.

[garrett6034]

Every time the local neighborhood looses a dog or cat they come to your door to check the size of your reptile's belly.

The police know you by name and call you every time there is a reptile related incident.

All the local exotic pet stores come to you for their reptile needs.

You have a very special "deal" with the over populated animal shelters

To save money you sometimes spend the day in the woods hunting for food that isnt for yourself.

[txrepgirl]

Hi garrett6034.Welcome to the Tegu forum family ( I don't know if I did that yet ).

that's so funny ! because it's the truth !!

[laurarfl]

...when your husband asks why we breed roaches on purpose when everyone else is trying to kill theirs!

...not only do you PAY for hundreds of dead rodents (LOL on that one!), but you pay HUNDREDS for dead rodents.

...when your kids' friends won't spend the night because your house is "too creepy".

...when you prowl the kitchen as people are preparing food exclaiming, "Hey, don't throw that away, one of the reptiles will eat it!"

...when your husband is used to the madness enough to ask, "Before I throw these scraps away, will any of the animals eat this?"

[Angelrose]

omg ! this hits home as well .......LOL

[txrepgirl]

Yea,one of my son's friends doesn't want to sleep over any more either :lol: ( and you would think with his friend being 13 years old he wouldn't be scared of animals like that any more :lol: .

[Angelrose]

...... or when you find out the vacuum is not working now because it is stuffed with various reptile skins :? .

[GOT_TEGUS01]

[txrepgirl]

Bryan,I and two of our friends are going to carry that thing.

[Angelrose]

does this mean you have to get another reptile to place in there ? you can't just have an empty tank ...lol.



and on that note: you know your a herper when you have an empty tank and you have to find another reptile to put in there because it's empty.

[txrepgirl]

No,we are not going to get another reptile.That enclosure is for Zeus for now.When our boys ( Leonidas and Zeus ) are older we will get them a female but for right now we have enough animals in the house.

[Angelrose]

yeah, it's getting very crowded here as well. anymore and I will have to place the furniture on top of the enclosures ...lol

[Angelrose]

you know your herper when someone knocks on your door and when you open the door; instead of looking at you, they are looking behind you and start to scream !

[Alek]

:lol: :lol: you know you are a herper when your wife plays tug of war with your older tegu using a swiffer duster.

You know you are a herper when you take a shower and there is a water tub next to you with a tegu in it. :lol:

you know your a herper when you travel out of town to get a free inclosure. :D

[corn-ball]

[junglejane]

you think about making braclets,rings etc. from reptile shedded skin remains.

people ask you to go to camps and show your reptiles to others.

Celeste.

[Angelrose]

you tell your snake he's sexy more then you tell your bf/gf.

people spend big money to get rid of mice and rats and you spend bigger bucks breeding them.

you ever have to clean mouse guts off of anything

redecorating the house means finding a way to squeeze in another tank.

your arms say your a drug user and your python says your food

[Alek]

you also know you are a herper when you are addicted to reptile forums specially this one :lol:

when you wish that one day there will be tame king cobras that are none venumous

you see the good in everything that is scary to others

[worldeater]

when you and your roomate sing the "circle of life" elton john song loudly while watching your tegu rip apart a chicken.

[SnakeCharmr728]

When you carry a snake bag in your purse.

I'm guilty! :lol:

[freexskate]

[Shonuff]

When people come over and think they're at the zoo.

You hang out at a pet shop because you're bored.

When you talk about reptiles in conversations to people who are scared of them.

That describes my family exactly!!!!!!:shock::shock::shock:

We usually bring the zoo to the people.

We volunteer at the local pet store all the time. Sales, stocking, feeding, clean up, we do it all!!

Definitely talk about reptiles too much!!!

[geu57]

your reptiles have a bigger room than you do.

[DaveDragon]

your reptiles have a bigger room than you do.
BIGGER ROOM???!!! Our's occupy most of the house!;-)

[Angelrose]

When you toss your own bed in order to make a snake room ...:roll:

[Quijibo]

Your Tegu is enjoying his superworms so much it's making you want to try some and see what the fuss is about. (I can't watch anymore).

When your girlfriend/boyfriend/wfe/husband says "It's them, or ME!".... and you keep the herps.

Remember though, there's a fine line between "Herper" and "Hoarder".;)

[Jormugandr]

If you use a UVB and other lighting products from ZooMed/ExoTerra for your own room lights.. *lol

Your nickname is "Heosemys" or "Paleosuchus" or "Regius" or others.. *lol

Instead of daily running with dogs, you do daily walking with Monitors.. *lol

[saided]

You take a bath/shower and realize there is a peice of lizard shed floating in there with you, and you dont freak out

you talk about sperm plugs with family/friends and dont realize how grossed out they are

When you limit your vacation plans around how long you can leave your reptiles

When you look at vacations that are located near as many reptile species as possible..

[the enigma]

The only reason you check the mail is for new critters.

[absorlano]

Услуги переводчика

[Renesis]

When you find random crickets crawling on your feet and you casually toss them in a reptile tank like kobe at the buzzer

[laurarfl]

When you save a few crickets from the shipping box to feed the regular anoles that live around your house!

[Herpgirl]

1/2 of your family room is taken over by a huge tegu enclosure and the first hour of your morning is spent misting cages, powdering crickets and thawing rodents.

[RaeMarie518]

HAHA! Very funny you wrote that. I recently moved to the city and Im sure my neighbors are thinking something crazy from my red glowing room! LOL

[RaeMarie518]

You know you are a herper when:

You go on vacation to visit family but end up spending most of the time outside field herping.
It just finished raining and its very muddy out but you are running outside looking for frogs, toads, salamanders, ect!
You cant stay focused on a forum because you keep staring off at your collection seeing what everyones doing.
You become mesmerized at how cute your Tegu is sleeping on his rock and walk into the couch.
One of your herps pass away and you cry harder than youve ever cried before.
You have tattoos of your herps!
You are accused of loving your herps more than people and you cant argue otherwise.
Youd go hungry just to feed your herps.
All you think about is your collection because after all they are my children.
When you call your mother to scream "YOUR A GRANDMA! AN EGG JUST HATCHED!"
You and your reptile fall asleep watching tv but the Tegus got all the couch!
You are bitten & latched onto but you refuse to harm the herp, you just wait 5 minutes for him to let you go and then you blame yourself for getting bitten in the first place!
You wonder how bad that monitor tegu diet tastes and seriously contemplate tasting it... lol

BUT MOST OF ALL:
You know you are a dedicated herper when you walk into your room and your bearded dragon arm waves at you, the chinese water dragon & tegu are clawing at the door to come see me, and my torts stick there heads out to say hi and you wouldnt have it any other way.

[Cobalt87]

When you spend more time watching tegu videos on youtube than studying for final exams...

[Tegugurl]

When you spend more time cleaning your reptiles enclosures, then your own home..:?:

[Rhetoric90]

Yes this for sure haha


not sure why it didn't show the quote but it was to the youtube/final exam

[JessieD839]

When you go hungry so the herps can eat.

When you don't go on vacation because everybody is to scared to feed your tegu.

[rick1975]

...when you go to Home Depot for mulch and topsoil and they ask how big your yard is
....when the checkout girl at the grocery store asks how you prepare your mustard greens and you explain they're for a uromastyx. A what?
....when you get excited to see the FedEx package because it has fresh hornworms, superworms and crickets for the babies
....when your girlfriend says," you know, they really are pretty cool...."
....when the longest trip you've taken in 3 years is to a reptile show..
...when you spend more money on a tegu enclosure than you've spent on your house
...when you get up 2 hours early for work so you can take care of all the animals
...when you get up early on Saturdays and Sundays to take care of all the animals, without changing their feeding schedule (3am for me)
...when you get in a panic because there are no crickets left in the house and Petco is out
...when you buy a kerosine heater just in case the power goes out...for the lizards..
...when people at work politely ask you "How are your lizards..." and you tell them..one by one. (They don't usually ask again. LOL)

[kaylorin]

....when for any gift-giving holiday, you ask for lightbulbs and viv building materials!
....when you wake up to an adult dubia roach on your pillow - you get it back in it's bin, and go right back to sleep.

[RamblinRose]

When you refer to your critters as your mother and fathers grandchildren.
Or to refer to your sister & brother as there aunt & uncle.
When friends and relatives invite you to their place and ask you if you can leave the kids at home. : )

[Dana C]

Ain't it the truth. Another sure sign is when you opt for a bowl of Cheerios instead of roast beef so you can afford to buy meats for your Tegu. Been there and done that.
A young man and his girl friend came by yesterday so he could show her my lizards. He complimented me on how neat and clean my lizard cages were. Mind you the house, my house is a terrible mess but man I keep my cages clean! HAHAHAHA

[Dana C]

....you are thrilled when your bathtub is full of scales and sheets of of shed skin.

[Apophis]

...after finding said sheets of skin you show them off to anyone who happens to be around/in your house and contemplate pinning them to your wall.

[Gnatilie]

You keep thinking one day i will have a whole reptile room but until then "Honey can you help me move the couch again?"
You say things like "honey i found this breeder rack for rats on craigslist for 50 bucks and it comes w/ tubs I am actually saving money by getting this item"
You go to repticon w/ a list like it was the grocery store
Your local reptile shop knows you by name
You see a pic of a lizard and immediately begin to debate on the identification
You hear the words "honey the worms are escaping again" coming from the living room
You know how annoying crickets really are
You know exactly what to type into craigslist to find decent deals on things like rat breeder racks or reptile enclosures...
You hate attempting to grow wax worms
You have gone to the local hardware store and asked about different things for the enclosure you are building and then have to explain what you are doing and why you need the items you need
You now own a infared thermo gun
You also own snake hooks
You also have some really really long hemostats or tongs
You have bowls that you tell people "you don't want to use that for food"
You have an entire freezer dedicated to dead things
I could go on but i already sound looney! :)

[Dana C]

I think I have entered the crazy zone. I have been reading about play behavior in certain species of Varanus. In observing both Gordo and Eva it was apparent that they have an abiding interest in the toilet plunger, sanitized of course as well. They will stick their heads into it and lift it, roll it around, crawl on it and in short play with it....a sign of higher intelligence. Some time ago, I bought them their own toilet plunger just to be safe. They prefer the Mr. Clean brand by the way.

Today however, I took a good look in the mirror and saw a 63 year old man who has purchased a Mr. Clean Toilet Plunger just for his lizards looking back at me.....I think I have lost it. LOL
They really do love their plunger by the way!

Oops, I almost forgot, I bought them their own toilet brush as well....they use it when shedding. :roll:

[txrepgirl]

Lol. I love reading those posts. Thank you everyone for keeping this going. I can relate to some of them very well.

Dana. As soon as I saw the words brush I thought they were going to use it to brush their teeth lol.

[Dana C]

You know Samantha, in spite of the countless claw scratches, a couple of bites and painful tail whips from Kinabo, it is so worth it. I am like a child immersed in a sense of wonder about these animals. When they come to me for warmth or attention or security, I feel so blessed that what are basically wild creatures honor me that way. Most people who don't own large lizards can't begin to understand.

I am going to post some thoughts in the other reptiles section about Kinabo and a few questions as well and would love your feed back.
I hope you are feeling better.

[Gnatilie]

when you go through the weekly ads to see what produce and meats are bogo so you can make meals for your tegu...
when you hate bugs but you raise them cause it makes your herps so happy
when you walk into ANY store and immediately think... hmmm i could use that for my enclosure or hey that is a good deal on those water dishes (aka plastic bowls for a dollar)

[GummiBear]

When everyone thinks you're husband is going to get in trouble when he tells them he got his wife a snake and a tegu for her birthday.
When telling the rep store that's why he is at the store, he asks ” where did you find her”

Your hound dogs are skilled in tracking and alerting to escape crickets..

[Cobalt87]

When you have ever uttered the phrase "it looks tastier when it crawls"

[mspencer]

You know you are a herper when:

BUT MOST OF ALL:
You know you are a dedicated herper when you walk into your room and your bearded dragon arm waves at you, the chinese water dragon & tegu are clawing at the door to come see me, and my torts stick there heads out to say hi and you wouldnt have it any other way.

I dunno if the quote will show but i totally agree with RaeMarie518, my bearded dragon and tegus go crazy when i walk into their room lol

...when you get bit and use tissue and ducttape for a bandage so you can keep cleaning and working with your herps

[Alek]

You know you are a herper when you have frozen rats or mice in your frigde next to the popsicles.

[txrepgirl]

Lol. That sounds like how our freezer used to be :) . Since we got so many lizards I had to buy a small chest freezer and put rodents and other foods for them in there. I think if my boyfriend's mom would of seen those rodents in our freezer she never would of eaten at our house again lol.

[GummiBear]

The humans are the last to eat. I'm starving right now but the loud fuzzy creatures got their food, and now its bonding time for my scaly friends than I finally get to eat!

[Thelegendofcharlie]

You know youre a herper when...
You get a wicked sunburn and get psyched because now you know what its like to shed just like your beasties.

[txrepgirl]

:) those are funny and so true. Thank you all for keeping this thread going.

[Hokurai]

You grab a snack for yourself and for your tegu at the store and put back your food so you can buy him more.
You take to misting down your own enclosure.

[kazzym]

you know your a herper when you stop what your doing no matter how importantit is when your tegu wants your attention.

love this thread lol

[txrepgirl]

:) I'm glad you love this thread. I don't stop cooking. We don't want to eat some burnt food lol.

[Gnatilie]

when you have to bleach the bathtub daily cause there was poop in it and now the kids need a bath...
when you go to the store and say to your friend... wow i am glad to know they sell (insert random obscure animal part) here im gonna come back friday and get some of that...
when your boyfriend begins vacuuming up the moths that have cultivated from your bugs substrate
when you make dinner for you the kids and a weeks worth of diets for the tegu
when you ask yourself if i get this can the kids and the tegu eat it?

[txrepgirl]

Lol. That's a good one. I try to keep things clean, too. But to be honest with you I never cleaned my bathtub every day like I do now since we have the lizrds lol. The other day I went to the store and bought a big bag of Sardines. A guy asked me how I cook them. I sad " I don't cook them. I thaw them out and then give them to my lizards " :) . The look on his face was priceless lol. He asked me what kind of lizards I have. I told him that we have five Tegus and a black throat monitor. I told him how big they get and gave him my youtube channel info. He looked at me again like I'm nuts lol. I love it.

[txrepgirl]

Or when you want to buy a meat grinder for your Kitchenaid mixer and you ask the seller if you can grind up some bones, too. So you can feed it to your lizards lol. I just did that on eBay lol.

[txrepgirl]

A strange thing just happened. We just ordered some Chinese delivery guy just asked me if we have any lizards when he droped of the food lol. I have no clue how he knows that we have some lizards. I gave him my username to my youtube channel and he had a big smile on his face ( he's very young ). I'm surprised he never asked me/us this before.

[GummiBear]

I had that issue in my apartment, all my cages were in the living room which the front door opened right to, so any door to door people or delivery people always did a double take. usually one of the first things I get when people come in my living room "what all do you have going on in here?" most of mine are small though so unassuming cages but multiple none the less.. :-)

[txrepgirl]

When we open our door you can't see the enclosures unless you are right by the doorstep. Two of them are of to the side.

[SiK_Exotics]

This topic is my favorite! Reading thru most of these I keep wondering who put up the camera in my house LoL...

Some to Add-

You know you're a Herper when:
-In the summertime your bathtub houses your incubator (P.S. We're in tx)
-There's a 40 in every room... 40 oz bottle of hand-sani that is!
-People stop by every month just to see what's new
-The only magazine not in your bathroom but out on the table is Reptiles
-Rubbermaid is your preferred brand for hide/lay boxes
-There is a tank in every room in your house (and a few outside, for those warm sunny days)
-Your pet insurance is more than your own
-When friends bring their kids over because it's cheaper and cooler than a day at the zoo
-You don't hide your gram scale


Alright, those are my two cents LoL.. I'm done for now :-)
