Mousesicle man came by today

cowtownherper Mar 31, 2004 02:58 PM

My mouse man made a delivery today. The freezers full again. No real news, I just get excited when I see all those mousesicles and you guys are the only people who understand. Isn't it sad when a grown man gets excited by the sight of a bunch of bags of mice and rats.

You are killing me! I am constantly amazed at the weird crap that I get excited about. You should have seen me that day I first saw my corns...um...doing it. I called my fiance all excited, and he was not impressed. I couldn't wait to get to work and post to tell someone who understood!

Isn't it funny how the things that excite us herpers, only confirms our insanity to non herpers. How's the waiting game going for you. Have you gone completly nuts yet? Not much longer now. Hang in there. Jim

I only live five minutes from my work wich is where I'm at now. I ran the mice home to get them in the freezer. My next door neighbor who is a herper( burmese) was in the yard with the fella from across the street. I lugged the six bags of mice and rats over to show him. He was excited too! Unfortunatly the guy from across the street freaked. I swear I thought he was gonna turn and run. The looks we have to put up with. I love it.

Still waiting. I still can't tell if they've actually done it but I am assuming so I am keeping an eye on the girls. I keep putting them together just in case but I haven't actually witnessed the deed. I think I have a shy guy.

I found out one of the salesmen I work with is the biggest feeder breeder in our area. He's got standing orders for 3,000 rodents a week. It was so funny when I found out! I was like, woo hoo...somebody who doesn't think I'm a freak for having 20 rats in my bathroom, and at least that many in the freezer.

My grandma just came to visit for the first time since I got Cosmo and she loved him. She grew up on a farm and hated snakes but I fed him when she was here and grandma put her face up to my feeding tank and loved it. She said--"that didn't turn me off at all". I loved every minute of it. When I was a kid(8) I had a green snake and had to take it back because my great-grandpa (her dad) would not come in my house. To show her a bag of frozen fuzzies in my freezer was great when she appreciated it. I talked to her today and she decided to hold Cosmo next time she's here. I love changing the way people think.
