Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I had gotten an email awhile back from al salzberg from herp arts.com

he is writing a book and was looking for how people would end this sentence.....

"you know you are a herper when....." I submitted a bunch of endings and they accepted them and they and my name will be in his book...isnt that cool!

these are what I submitted;
"you are in the supermarket and the check out lady asks you how old your baby is because you are buying jars of baby food and you explain that theyre for you cresded and gargoyle geckos, and she shakes her head and looks at you like you are nuts !"

"your photo brag book contains more pics of your reptiles than of your kids"

" you go to a reptile show with your ll y.o. and your run into the show faster than your kids because you are so excited!"

"the photos on your locker at work not only include photos of your kids but of your herps too"

"you get the same feeling of satisfaction watching your bearded dragons attack their greens as ou would watching your kids at the dinner table"

I hope you like them....

You know you're an herper when ... you call your parents to tell them they'll soon be grand parents because you just discovered some eggs in your anoles vivarium...

You know your a herper when....The check out lady at the grocery store asks what kind of lizard you have because she says no one actually eats that combo of greens. Then the lady behind in line holds up a bundle of mustard greens and says Bearded Dragon in our family also.

This really happened to me.

went to the grocery store looking for greens and turns out the produce person has an iguana that likes kale....the herp world gets smaller and smaller......
