You might be addicted...

My husband asked me tonight why there are so many freaking crickets running around the house and I informed him I am currently also "free ranging" the feeders.

He did not laugh.

OK NOW YOU GUYS ARE HITTING BELOW THE BELT HERE!!!!!!! I could not find even one I did not agree with or have not had happen to me except the maggot on the table and truthfully I would just get it off and hope my wife did not see it. If she did I would just say that was just a piece of rice I spilled and did not clean up Then I would spend the next two or three days feeling guilty for lying to her but better that then the ( I told you so ) as she says I have way to many bugs and she is sure they are going to infest our house.
One to add to the list....... You get up late at night with a flashlight in hand and patrol the house looking for bugs of any kind just to be sure no one else finds them.

Whenever you show your mom a cool looking herp and she says how big does it get. Also, am I the only one who has a drawer filled with random reptile crap like freebee bags from shows, egg crates, stuff you were POSITIVE you would use, etc.

I have two large storage bins full of stuff like that.

I am completely guilty of this. Even my cubicle at work has stuff in it. I work in a hospital IT department and we are installing a bunch of equipment and they component are packed with this sturdy egg crate stuff and I pulled a huge stack of it out of the recycle bin...my coworkers think I'm nuts when I ask the cafeteria ladies to give me egg flats...

Addicted...

You know you're addicted when...

When going out of town you make arrangements to take care of the chams and then realize you forgot about taking care of the children.

The neighbors ask you, "are you having bug problems too?"

When you ask what's for dinner and the girlfriend says "mixed worms with a calcium glaze."

You start filling out Obamacare paperwork for each of your chams.

When you put posts like this on Chameleonforums.com!

You and I have a lot in common. I've got to remember the "rice" thing. Btw, I only have discoid beetles. They're a lot different than discoid roaches.

I'm definitely on my way to a first bin full, but for now its just the upper shelf in my closet.

This USED to be our family dinning room table.
Had a nice clean tablecloth, placemats, and maybe a vase of flowers in
the middle.
Countless Holiday dinners were enjoyed here by family and friends.

Then, the cham addiction fell upon the house of Psychobunny, like a black cloud, and....well......

You are more excited about the box of fly pupae arriving in the mail, for your cham, than you are about your own birthday cards!
Sad, but true!
