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?

You take a detour on the way home on a reallly hot and muggy day to find an obscure little mini river and ninja walk on the teeny rocks to the middle to get *that* perfect rock for your beardies tanks.

Pooping is now a reason to go "awww"

You catch your mum saying "did you do a pootinky poopies den darling?"

You take over 100 pictures in a day, all of them featuring the beardies

You pinch the cats new blanket so your scaly babies can have a special blankie to

Your dad calls something a cutie pie

You get bedtime cuddles that you never want to end :love5:

...when your brother, who is taking care of yours for a week while you're at camp, tells you he feels pea-sized lumps in her belly, and you can't think of anything the rest of the flight home. First clutch, oh my god. D8

YKYLWBW....... You dont tell your hubby a new baby is comming. You sit up all night and think of ways to explane it to him when he comes home from work and sees the new addition... "I swear hunny i thought it was my shipment of roaches!"...... "Lexia had a baby! grats hunny its a boy!"......

Been there... YKYLWBW you call your boyfriend and explain why there is yet another rescued critter in your house. And why you know have a huge tupperware bin full of worms in your bathroom.

YKYLWBW . . . you're sent on an hour and half wild goose chase to 1) find a FedEx hub, 2) convince the FedEx guy that you're at the right location, 3) be on the phone with an extremely patient and kind customer support lady to find a tracking number to my package, and 4) ultimately find my big box of wormies for my babies.

The things we do to make/keep our scaley babies happy :roll:

YKYLWBW your at work as a cashier at a grocery store and atleast 5 people a shift point to their shoulder and ask you "Where is your pretty girl today?" I'm the lizard girl of Cape Breton

Oh Dee, that's so funny. YKWYLWBW: you actually check the footage that the beardies have in your house and realize that it's almost 50%. Good thing we're great slaves. :mrgreen: We have 6 beardies in a 1 bedroom apartment, plus a gecko and a fish in 10 gal tank. Four tanks in the living room/dining room and 2 tanks in the bedroom.

...you're constantly discussing lighting, heating and bulbs :lol:

 

[Saccharidicule]

.....you beam with pride when the vet tells you you're doing everything right, and that your beardie is in top-notch condition. :mrgreen: She was really happy to see that an owner was really involved and knowledgeable about the animal they were taking care of. I'm so proud! I'm always worrying that I'm doing something wrong, so getting affirmation from a vet I trust is a huge boost.

YKYLWBW......You get stink eye for putting the AC in the window!

 

[beardie parents]

YKYLWBW......You get stink eye for putting the AC in the window!

:laughhard:

 

[Goonie]

YKYLWBW......You get stink eye for putting the AC in the window!

Shame on you! How could you even entertain the thought of taking over her window! Bad slave! :laughhard:

 

[beardie parents]

YKYLWBW: You take both your beardies to a friends house, she has a 10 YO cat, and, being the animal lover she is, she holds both of them. Well, then the cat gets severely jealous and turns her back to your friend, simply because she's holding another animal.

BTW: this friend likes to go into a certain reptile store when shoping in Tucson and holds snakes. They seemed to like being held curled up in her arms. However, she will not buy said snake, just likes to hold them.

YKYLWBW you force yourself to bake in the relentlessness summer sun for your beardies sake of getting some natural UVB.

 

[MALIBUSMOM]

YKYLWBW......you sit at the playground for 3 hours...not becouse you have kids but becouse your beardie is under your lawn chair laying eggs!
