Okay, is there a twelve-step program for those of us who have become *totally adddicted* to reptiles and amphibians??????

You all have MADE me into a total ADDICT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I go to the hamburg show today, expecting to hang with cool people, see my babies' mommy, Shannon (which I did, she's so awesome and friendly!), find Sean, for my Thamnophis poster (which I didn't, where was he?? It's not that big a place, how did I miss him????) and NOT buy anything.

....Well.... I've loved poison dart frogs ever since I've seen them, so bought 5 tadpoles. No one seems to think it's hard to raise them, so I figured, "Why not??? I've wasted more tham $40 on all sorts of stuff before," so I now have 5 tadpoles on the kitchen counter.

Then, I met Adam of Adam Kuhn Captive Bred Reptiles, who had several non-feeding corn snakes. I got 6 for $20. Upon getting home, we, for s***s and giggles, chopped up some pinkies and put them in the containers. Lo and behold, right now, 3 ate, no problem.

I love it, Love it, LOVE IT!!!! But darn you!!!!! You sent your herpetological bugs my way and they bit me HARD!!!!!!!

Is there a patch I can wear like the nicotine one that will prevent me from buying more More MORE???? Or do I have to "Just Say No" to reptile shows????

It was all I could do not to come home with a turtle, too.
