You Know You Are An Aracnophile When:

[bagheera]

You coerce a world class silversmith to do a tarantula, and criticize the anatomical details.

 

[Schlyne]

You've ever gone "What's one more? It's just one"

 

[Stylopidae]

This one is me right now

You're all set up to move out of your house and your parents give you plastic boxes to move, but you only take the ones you can breed feeders in

1.when you actually find your 8" c.crawshayai funy when its hissing and striking :clap:
2. When you find s.calceatum cute little fuzz balls

When you come in and go straight into your spider room and look in the tanks before you even get your coat and shoes off. (i do this) i just have to see them as soon as i get in

 

[Apocalypstick]

I look at mine 1st thing every morning... T before PEE... gotta be an addict

 

[Cirith Ungol]

You have a stuffed, fuzzy spider in your bedroom.

Haha... I do

...When you have gotten hold of more shelving rawmaterial than you could ever possibly put up the walls (me right now).

...When you have had a talk with "the normals" about T's and have to get back to them a day later to correct something you said yesterday.

...When you've basically stopped useing your speakers but use headphones instead at all times.

...When you nearly get a heart-attack if you can't get onto this site for some reason.

...When you leave home for a few days and instead of thinking "Did I lock the door?" you go, "I wonder if they have enough water?".

...When you feed your pillbugs pinky remains.

...heck! If you HAVE pillbugs

...If you calculate how many Ts you can feed before you have to take the bus in 20 minutes

Edit...
...AND when more than 1/3 of the stuff in the freezer is roach food...

 

[Apocalypstick]

...if you are an authority on how filthy and disgusting
crickets are and realize they only exist to feed Ts

 

[OldHag]

When your husband complains that you treat your bugs better than you treat him!! :O

 

[Stylopidae]

Your Ts have sex more often than you do

 

[bug2]

- When the top pops off a pill bottle at a restaurant after the show and your best friends all drop to the floor to keep your new T from becoming "road kill".

- When you drive clear across town to visit someone just so that you can exchange males

- When you begin finding conversations about anything else just a waste of time when you could be feeding T's instead.

- When your DHL guy knows your address by heart.

- When your dealer knows your address by heart.

- When you make more then the minimum payment on your credit card "just in case" you need to buy another one.

 

[Stylopidae]

Bump

When you've laughed at anything on this thread:

I'm all sclerotized and ready to go, baby.

Well, equally as often, until they mature, at least. Then it'll be more.

 

[Apocalypstick]

When your T is molting and you scream at everyone in the house to shutup, don't go anywhere near the tank, walk softly coz I'll kill you if vibrations are produced, no stereo or TV (vibrations), and you shoot the guy passing by on a motorcycle with a BB gun..... Oh yeah :}

 

[Scorpendra]

you act as though you/your wife had a baby every time one of your Ts molt.

 

[ChrisNCT]

When I have my bug hating co-workers come to work intelling me they had a dream about a eggsack.

 

[bananaman]

the only reason you know photography terms and can have a good conversastion with a professional photographer is because you got into it to take pictures of your Ts

when you see the term "world wide web" and giggle because you think about spiders

when everything reminds you of them

when you have tarantula documentary DVDs

when your friends politely ask you to stop talking about them...

when you have more tweezers in your room than a medical professional

you find it funny to find an avic outside of its enclosure

you sleep to the sound of crickets chirping

the only thing that got you to stop smoking was to spend the money on Ts

your computers wallpaper is a giant hairy spider

this thread is great later

 

[kitty_b]

:8o

so many of these apply to me...

i'm expecting #17 tomorrow, and hopefully #18-20 next week

 

[stubby8th]

When you show your 5yr. old your 'Red-knee' and he corrects you by saying "no daddy, that's a Brachypelma smithi".

When you have piles of clothes on the floor of your closet and not hanging because you needed more 'shelf-space'.

When you're at Walmart and practically every type of container they carry can be sized up as tarantula housing or good for a roach colony.
