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?

:laughhard: we have already told Tela that when she goes, she can't come back because her room is going to become a beardie-arium... and she's only 13!

You know you live with beardies when you say "good poop pooper!"

love it! We say that to Twitch but to Hermes we usually say "Dude... Really? :roll: " 'cause he keeps pooping in his dang salad... He seems to like it contained and doesn't understand we'd rather it in his bowl he just finished all the Phoenix Worms out of...

...a cricket gets out and you let your beardie out to "catch" it.

you go on vacation, stay in a nice hotel and can't get to sleep because there are no crickets chirping!
and when the six foot dragon enclosure becomes the centerpiece of your living room decor.
And when the before mentioned caqe placement requires you to find a new place for the Christmas tree (and a much smaller tree).
And I am SO glad to know that bugs and worms are on someone elses shopping list too! And yes, my crisper in the fridge is strictly for Beardie veggie storage!

When the only reason you took the human kids to eat at Cracker Barrell was so that the staff wouldn't look at you as funny when you asked for all their egg flats (for the roaches) and were glad when they didn't ask why you wanted them! Go ahead say roach in a crowded resturant... I don't even call them roaches in front ofmy 7 year old. They are "giant isopods". She would go to school and tell everyone we had roaches!

When your vegetable drawer is filled with odd fruits and vegetables and most of it isn't for you.

i.e. bok choy, prickly pear, etc.

Really? Because I actually eat all that stuff. Ever had bok choy stir fry? It is delicious with hot peppers and spiced beef mmmmmmm. Also no I did not actually try a meal worm or cricket. Though the canned crickets I use for a salad topper sometimes is actually kind of creepy. You open the can and it smells like stir fry or roast beef or something. It actually smells like something that is good to eat. Would like to blindfold someone and give them a plate full of crickets and vegatables and say it's a stir fry and see if they like it.

Of course before they finish I would take the blindfold off so they can see what they were really eating and see there reaction. I bet that would make a great you tube video.

Also thought I would add I grow dandelions in a pot that I bring in during winter the neighbors think I'm nuts lol. Also m y neighbors like to keep there lawn nice and weed free and hate how my dandelion infested lawn infests there grass.

Probably the best decision you could make. :lol:

Ya know people actually do eat crickets as a snack in some countries and apparently it doesn't taste too shabby. They also have those lollipops that have the cricket or mealworm in the middle. I personally haven't eaten any but I know people who have and they say it's no big deal. I think I'll stick to my non insect food though

 

[dna14]

Yes, I will pass. I have however been known to put the beardies' greens in our sandwiches and salads
