Last night I was at work, (I work nights at an Inn) and I saw this old soda cooler we have in the kitchen, and I thought "That would make an awesome incubator..."

Come on everyone. How did you know you were addicted?

-Man fears the beast in the Wolf because he does not understand the beast within himself.

I knew I was addicted when I looked in my completely stuffed freezer and didn't see anything for humans eat.

How about when your snakes have thier own freezer and you STILL can't find anything for human consumption in the "family" freezer?

When you look at a furniture and think I could modify that into a cage for my snake lol goto love it

You know, that's an excuse that could work both ways. "Honest, it's a new snake. See, it's this one right here (picking up normal). It's nothing to do with those kinds of pictures."

For other people, maybe the spouse will say, "I hope these are porno charges, because you better not have a new snake."
