chucks and other addictions

chuckwallaboy Feb 08, 2004 08:38 AM

yeah, I know, sorta venturing off topic here. But I think it pertains to all of us posting here. On my wedding day I was busy making sure my chucks were properly fed before leaving to get hitched and then on my honeymoon I was snapping pictures of cstenosaurs (whatever they are ? the hunkin mama iguanas all over cancun). Anyone know of twelve step programs for amateur herpers? At least my wife is very cool and with it and is getting into sulcuta tortoises after a recent venture to a reptile show which in the way of roasies had only the bright orange, straight striped ones AGGHHHH!

Recently I've set up a reef tank and am completely consumed with the maintenance, the endless literature and especially the many choices available for community invertebrates.

This is killer addiction. It is almost as bad as chuckwallas for me. Don't even start with reef tanks because I think they are the heroine or crack of critter keeping. I'm counting the hours until the local tropical fish store opens - I NEED A MANDARIN GOBY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGGHHHHH I AM CORNHOLIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Addiction List:

Chucks
DI's
reef tanks
rosy boas (the coastal or riverside with a bit of blue and rust zig zag patterns)
scroungy pooches from the pound
chocolate
diet coke
echo and the bunnymen

Sorry for straying there............

money, now its a REPTILE room and all I do is SPEND money , hahahaha,

Every room in the house has its own noises,
from lizards scrathing, frogs calling,
1000's of crickets chirping,
dogs barking, cats meowing, Fish jumping and splashing water,
squirrel jumping from limb to limb,
bunny bouncing around her cage

My husband wears earplugs to bed ! LMAO

Oh but it's all so much fun !

He does not mind crickets, singing, he likes that.

Its the 2 Sheepdogs nails, clicking on the wooden floors that drives him batty !

So Boys, YES, I TOO,
admit the addiction (with great pleasure, I may add) hahhahahahahha

I knew I was good for something!! So much for the "Role Model" stuff for me!! I just hope to get a batch of redtails & desert iguanas this year. I also hope we get a couple of days in a row of sunshine!!!!!! I had to thin out the herd- you can have too many lizards per square mile you know!!!

It's always the same. First, a few spinys between friends. Next thing you know you are up to a couple of Mutts a year and then, when you're hooked......He starts talking about redtails.

What can I sell?
