...your annual house cleaning is done when an animal escapes!

...you buy shelves for new terrariums and supplies , and you already have 5 in your room.

...when you spend much of your spare time with a tape measure because you just know that you could fit a couple more cages in if you put them in side ways/on their sides/on top of each other... etc.

...the place you just rented is a real dump, but you don't mind it's so damp because there are rough skinned newts everywhere.



...you spot your first wild bullfrog, and you drag your husband out to see it so you can share this special moment together. And....you actually have a husband/wife who agrees it's a special moment!

...you kick guests out after they say "What a cute little king snake" while looking into the sand skink's cage.

...you've ever been in a flooring store and found yourself saying, "I really think vinyl is the best substrate for a child's room."

...you mention to your husband that it will soon be time to babyproof your home because your baby will be "big enough to free-roam soon."

...you've ever referred to your pediatrician as your child's vet.

...you've ever referred to the nurse at your obstetrician's office as a vet tech.

...when your obstetrician explained that you needed additional calcium while pregnant, you nodded your head and murmured, "gravidity-induced MBD" under your breath.

...you call Melissa Kaplan from the hospital after giving birth, *and*...Melissa Kaplan's phone number is one of the few numbers you have with you in the hospital after giving birth.

...Melissa doesn't mind the baby not being named after her because, well, it was a 1.0, not 0.1...of course, the mother is just thrilled that it was a 1, period.

...when someone mentions being pregnant, you automatically correct her to "gravid".

...you move the rubber snake out of the aisle at the toy store so it won't get run over...and identify its species while you're doing it.
