When you sit in your room all day staring at you cham to see if he ever turns brown just to wait and fix it while playing Xbox and looking over at him every 15 minutes and calling his name out and checking the fogger and mister supply left.

You know your addicted when..
You rush to put on your pants and there is a small cricket commune in them. And instead of freaking out, you remember it's time for chameleon vitamins so you miss your doctors appointment for the second time (in a row) because you lost all sense of time dusting feeders individually and hand feeding one by one to make sure he gets all of his vitamins.... Pretty sad lol, I think I have been fired as a patient.

When you call your boyfriend 4 times during the day when you're working and he's off to ask how Sheldon, Amy and Penny are and has he misted them, then how the dragons are, then how the dogs are and finally how he is.
When you no longer cringe at the strange looks you get from the Home Depot employees when they ask, "what are you building?" and your response is, "a cricket colony", "a dubia roach colony", "a hornworm enclosure", "an outdoor cham enclosure", "a bearded dragon enclosure", "a free range", etc.
When you know the lines of chameleons without even checking, ie Sinatra lines, Spock and Punkin lines, Blizzard lines.
When your boyfriend says, "we're both turning 40 next year, we need to take a vacation" and you panic at the thought of leaving them.
When you know the nutritional values of crickets, dubias, phoenix worms, hornworms, mealworms, superworms, wax worms, and silkworms and even have the chart on your work desktop for quick reference.
When you know what the terms kammers, casque and fat pads mean.
When your cham not wanting to be handled hurts your feelings.
When you freak out when there's a power outage because they need their UVB and dammit the feeders in the fridge will go bad as well as the ones not in the fridge because the power outage is during a heat wave. Not because you're existing in a 100 degree house, sweating profusely and completely uncomfortable but because the chams temps and feeders are more important. This was me a couple of weeks ago. Had the chams outside, misting frequently because it was over 100, the dragons in bins to bask, and me and the dogs pretty much living in the inflatable dog pool to keep cool. Talk about juggling fire batons while riding a unicycle on a tight rope.
Which leads me to my last one...when you think about buying a generator...not to keep people food from going bad during a power outage but to keep the chams lights operating.

when someone says "oh a chameleon! hold him against this so we can see him change colors" and you secretly want to scream bloody murder at them but decide to give them a big long boring (to them) informative lecture about chameleons and how they cant just go from blue to yellow just because they are next to a yellow shirt and how their pigmentation works and everything...

You are on a business Conference Call from your office at home and you have to explain the crickets chirping in the background while you are on speaker phone.

When your best friend buys you chameleon jewelry as a present and you not only love it, but can identify the chameleon species (panther) and proceed to give her a 20 minute long explanation on the differences between locales, which one is your favorite, etc....
And then, a week later, a friend, who also owns chameleons, gives you a beautiful veiled chameleon necklace and you are so excited because now you have a full chameleon jewelry set and have been wearing it ever since and talking about the chameleons nonstop to anyone who will listen, including your boss....
And then you find out your boss is having a baby girl and you tell her that you will knit her a baby blanket with a cute male ankaramy on it because OMG IT'S PINK!
And then, when explaining the story to your boyfriend, he asks why you aren't knitting a nosy be for your other friend who is having a boy and asks if your other friends can tell him where they got the chameleon jewelry so he can buy himself something and you just sigh, because you know you found the right guy when he loves chams just as much as you!
...Not that this happened to me. Nope. Never. Just one of those things that could possibly happen to people who like chameleons.
