Ok I was reding biggworms post earlier about sneeking herps in to the house and it reminded me of along time ago my herp budy (unclesnake)and I would tell my sister who Iwas living with and his dad who he was living with that it was the other guys snake and eventually it would be forgotton and all was good until our next exploit. then one day I had a red rat snake get loose and we told my sis that he had it and was cooling it for the fall so we could try to breed man those were the days now we both have our own houses so things are a bit easier though you should have heard the speech when I came home with USB and the beast. SORRY I digress My question: what is the biggest herp fib you ever told. I would like to hear them if for nothing else new excuses

I am lost w/o spell check

My wife didn't know about my snakes for a long time.She never goes out to the garage because of black widows like to live in there, so it was easy.My drunken brother in law blew it for me at a bbq.I lied and said I only had two snakes which I had 5 or six at the time.Heck I've even lied about how much I paid for them.None of my snakes I paid over $75 for or I got free from my friend.This is still the deal so nobody say anything.Later, Ethan

When I bought my condo, I got a two bedroom, and dubbed the extra one my "man room." In it, I have all my snakes, a couch, a mini-fridge with beer, funny blue collar calenders (babes n' guns) And all sorts of other silly testerone influenced stuff (autographed picture of elvira, mistress of the dark...) The rules on the room are 1) this is an estrogen free zone. Do NOT enter unless invited. 2) there are to be no complaints about ANYTHING that goes on in here, whether it's a mess that doesn't get cleaned up for 3 weeks, a strange smell, or anything else. 3) Not a speck of dust goes in, not a speck of dust goes out, and not a spec of dust gets moved, unless I'm the one moving stuff.

All I have to do is smuggle the snake from the front door to the man room, and it's in a safe zone

Seriously though, the discription may sound a little chouvanistic, but i'm paying all the mortgage payments and other bills while she's going to school full time, so the plans were not only met with very little resistance, but were actually welcomed because I had a place to put all my stuff she doesn't want to see all the time (14 foot snakes to nudey calenders) The only problem is the snake collection is beginning to outgrow the room...
