Darn you! Darn you all!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Reptile shows are DEATH TRAPS!!!!! I have gone into shows looking to buy ONE thing. Come out with 6 things. Or even go in with NO MONEY. Come out with 2 snakes. ROFL!! Etc... Etc.... Now I am going to one in Jan. with some actual money.... God knows what will go down.

Please. There is no help. There are no programs. I am afraid you will just have to get used to Stephi.

Just give in to the addiction- but dont take in more than you can care for.

Welcome to our world!!!!

Yep.
I've decided that the only way for me to actually get more herps is to go to a show.
Because it's the perfect excuse when you get out to tell your mom you were just so overwhelmed. XD

But do try to have a good idea of what you're capable of caring for or not; Remember, babies become not babies very quickly.
