You know you're living with beardies when...

Just thought we could start identifying things around the house that indicate a house full of beardies, i.e. You know you're living with beardies when...
while barefoot, you step on a thorn. When you remove it, it's actually a shedded beardie scale!

You know you're living with beardies when...
Crickets sing from all corners WITHIN the house!

You know you're living with beardies when...
Your refrigerator is full of worms and this is a very good thing, not a sign for a serious cleaning job!

I know there are many more ways that show others we are doing things a little bit differently! So, how do you know you're living with beardies?

YKYLWBW you find another bd owner in the area and are now coming over every other day.

...When the power goes out for 2 hours, and the first thought is "Oh, no, the basking light! She's going to be cold!" (Beardie in question, of course, was perfectly happy to just go to bed early. :roll: We got home, and she was already sound asleep. I dragged her outside to get a little evening sun. I'm so mean.)

 

[BindiBoo]

Thats my second thought, with the first being the filter for the turtle.

and i skip breakfast cause i spend so long making hers

When you and your son are racing to be the first to get the mail....he's waiting on a Game-fly game and you are waiting for repti-worms!!

 

[Puff2011]

When your husband is jealous of your dragons...

 

[Cnochur]

you have to keep explaining to people that you don't WANT a friggin' dog.

you lose all sympathy for crickets despite your Buddhist upbringing.

you want to sue PetCo for animal cruelty.

you recognize a wide range of emotions in an unmoving reptilian face.

you think it's normal for someone to occasionally remove their skin.

your entire camera is full of pictures like this:

YKYLWBW: You no longer want to kill roaches, instead you breed them.

 

[Goonie]

you think it's normal for someone to occasionally remove their skin.

:laughhard:


YKYLWBW . . . You sacrifice a night's sleep to ensure that your baby girl will be ok.

 

[SilverBlaze]

You spend a half-hour in the produce section picking out the very best they have to offer for your dragon's dinner...and grab whatever bag of salad is there for your own dinner.

And not sure if Beardies are this bad, but when we had guinea pigs, we had to unbag stuff on the porch and carry it in, else he'd scream bloody murder until you gave him a fistful of 'goodies'. >.<

 

[Dragoon]

you want to sue PetCo for animal cruelty.

lol, i sometimes want to do this too.

 

[TASTIGER]

ykylwbw you want to kick the animal control officer in the teeth because they havnt done anything to save this poor thing

 

[fresnowitte]

:shock: OMG!!! :shock:

:evil: :evil: That is so sad...very heartbreaking. :evil: :evil:
:evil: Somebody needs to get kick somewhere for neglecting that poor beardie like that. :evil:
:evil: :evil: And then again, an again, an again!!!! :evil: :evil:


YKYLWBW...
1) If that pic makes you cry and very anger. :evil:
2) If your spouse...whom rarely touches veggies himself is willing to be taught how to pic out the best greens and butternut squashes. :headbang:

3) When you look forward to Spring and Summer because there's more variety of fruits and veggies and a good amount of these your family won't even eat or have never tried yourself. :lol:

 

[PeppersGirl]

... When you can use the top of their enclosure to dry the hoodie you need for the following day :roll:

 

[sweetiepie9]

UKWULWB-their food covers a good 1/2 of the fridge....you seem to understand what they want, when they're annoyed with you (for insufficient cuddling!) and seem to lead me around by my nose. When your instinct is so keen after living with beardies for 5 years, that you know their personalities so well that you know when one of our brood is "off", not feeling well, before anything shows. Plus they just run our lives, ocmpletely.

 

[Jamiedog]

...You get so obsessed with bathroom habits that you find yourself dreaming about dragon poo. (Weirdest dream - for some reason, I had Wave out by a lake. And she did this monster poo with superworms that were, indeed, super in it - like, longer than she was. And still alive. And they were trying to... go into the lake, I think? So weird. Fortunately, my alarm went off right about then, and I woke up thinking, "Why in the world would I feed her something that huge?")
