Your LOVE life and your Reptiles.... Poll!!!

My ex-wife got her ball on a dare from her ex-boyfriend. She claimed to love the critters but when the meltdown came it was her and her insanity or the snakes. I opted for the snakes to be my sanity and my kids cover all the craziness I really need.

Let's see here..
The guys *I* don't scare off all by myself, the dog scares (110# lovable Rottie)...
The ones who the dog doesn't scare, the snakes do...
So far, no men left standing between me, my puppy, and the snakes! Just a housemate who is as crazy as me on all 3 counts (no, he is NOT datable material)

on this poll for ; have you ever been in a break-up or divorced due to reptiles ? I HAVE KNOWN MANY break-ups and divorces due to reptiles with 1 myself. In fact i know of at least 2 people that frequent this web forums that have also been in that situation. One fairly famous person here. LOL !

My ex gave me the ultimatum of the snakes or her. The snakes are doing great .

Ahaha Katrina I know what you mean! My doggies are usually seen first before the snakes, and they do their fair share of causing me to be home on weekend nights I guess we're in the same boat. Although I bet I scare off more on my own than you hahaha. I have smelled like burnt ATF (which I can't get that smell out of my skin no matter what I do!!) for the past three days, and one of those days I had a blind date. I will not expect that guy to call back

Bryon that was a great quote there "The snakes are doing fine"! I am glad you stood up for the scaly critters

If a person can't respect your hobby (even if they aren't interested in it) they should be told to get the f**k out and not let the door hit them in the a** on the way out. Anyone I know that has given up a pet, car, etc for a spouse has always ended up with neither in the end since the relationship was already doomed to fail.

hey there was no selections for " ( ) i dont even have a significant other , my pets are the only ones in my life and they dont even wanna listen to me whine anymore "
ahem , um , er not that I would fit into thaty category , uh , um , i jsut notices it wasnt there :scatter:

Anytime I talk to someone I'm interested in or vice-versa I put it all out on the table. My kids come first and NO I'm not giving up my babies. Especially since my boys are getting into the reptiles now. I come with baggage and alot of hungry mouths. Don't have the time for pussyfooting around with minor details.

HA HA, had to go with the "choose between" option.

I've had a few women lay that on me before. Guess what? I still have my snakes. To me there is no choice. I had snakes and other herps my whole life, they've been like my sons and daughters.

Dont let the door hit you on the way out! Need help packing? A ride to the bus stop? LOL

Ciao,
Rick

Great Thread! Honestly i think i've replaced the possibility of having a man in my life by having reptiles. I too put it all out on the table when i see someone i like (or someone who by chance is interested in me). I am shocked at how many guys are so sqeemish around them or just at the sound of the word reptiles. I did have an opportunity to meet up with a fellow reptile keeper. He had seen pics of my snake online and emailed me. We talked and got along great online............*should have kept it online*. But seeing as we lived close by eachother (i pass him on my way to work) and we would be going to the same reptile show next month i didn't think meeting would be a problem..................oh i was soooooooooooooo wrong. He hasn't talked to me much since. This time i can honestly say it was ME who scared him off. At first i was a bit peeved about it but i am who i am, i look the way i do, i have reptiles and other pets. I'm not about to change everything just for a guy.......

If you have to give up something that makes you happy, change who you are to please your significant other, i'm with the rest of you.........."theres the door" lol.
