OK new spin on redneck:

1. You know how many pine or aspen bales fit in your car.

2. You plan your vacation based on a new moon.

3. Watching golf reminds you that you need a new snake stick.

4. You wash your snake bowls with bleach, dish soap, then rinse for 15 minutes. Your dishes get a quick wash in the sink.

5. You drive down the road looking for anything in the road, just for practice for road herping.

6. If you live in, or go to Texas, you carry at least 2 gas cans in your vehicle.

7. You know where there are at least 20 pieces of tin, in the middle of nowhere. You also know the schedule of at least 10 pet shops.

8. You know the gestation periods of mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, G-pigs, and rabbits.

9. You probably did poor to fair in math and Spanish in school, but now you are doing complex punnet squares and know more Latin than your HS Latin teacher.

10. If you are sleeping with a smile on your face, your spouse doesn't get mad as they know you are dreaming of some new morph.

Feel free to add some

Your "Guest Bedrooms" are full of racks, not beds.
You spend more time cleaning up snake pooh than all the other pets' pooh you own.
You spend more money feeding your snakes than yourself each week.
Your ad for a house sitter says, "must be OK with reptiles".

Come on now, i know you have a few to share. People on IRC came up with a number of them.

When you buy a new freezer you look for FT space.

You know the stocking numbers of tupperware and sterolite at Walmart.

You have more water dishes than soup bowls, salad bowls, plates, heck all your china.

many people watch the stock market, yuo watch melamine and flexwatt prices.

Come on now, i know you have a few?

You see various pieces of furniture (ie. bookcases) in the trash and think how you could convert it into some type of enclosure

You do a tire smoking U turn driving down the highway like you are in a "Smokie and the Bandit", "Dukes of Hazzard", or "Starsky and Hutch" movie.
Your spouse then screams at you,"what the @#$%^ are you doing"?
Your answer, "I saw a snake about to cross the road and I want to see what kind it is"

Ask my wife about this one...see what kinda reaction you get...I dare you.lol
