When you get upset because you lose the egg sac you have been tending for the last few weeks to ants or some other mishap and spend the next few days acting like you just lost a close relative

if you sacrifice having airconditioning in your bedroom for the sake of the inverts
if your bedroom looks like a delicup/tupperware showroom
if relatives ask what your hobby is and you tell 'em, and they say "that's... nice" and they all look at each other
when you are in the car and rave on and on to your parents about the Ts or scorps you are picking up and they would pretend to be listening and your dad would say "that is really interesting, son" or your mom would say "they sound 'wonderful', as long as you don't show them to me"
if you cuss every few minutes when feeding pinheads to your slings

You stand in the longest lines at Wal-Mart just to buy a single $0.50 pot and you couldn't be happier to re-do your T's enclosure.
I liked this one the best:
"29: You hand out Lasiodora parabana slings instead of holloween candy"

When you have everyone in the family saving their pop bottle tops for water dishes, toilet paper and paper towel cardboard rolls for cricket hides, cardboard egg containers for roach hides, and all plastic peanut butter and mayonaise jars for sling and juvie containers.
When your family starts asking folks from their respective churches to start saving those things as well.
When your grandmother from Utah calls to apologize because she's been saving all those things to send you for Christmas and just when she had a big ol' box full, Grandpa came along and threw it all away.
When said grandmother begins claiming the tarantulas as her great-grandkids.
And last but not least, when your grandmother wants wallet-sized photos of some of your Ts so when her friends start showing off pictures of their great-grandkids, then she'll have something to show as well.

When your Youth Pastor tells the local christian rock band to come to church to see you hold some of your T's and centipedes.
I was... surprised, to say the least.

When you find a carpenter ant colony of at least 2,500 ants in a barrel of kindling wood and transfer it to a different container, not because your worried about the wood, but because they are great for feeding your black widows.

You talk about tarantulas and your biology teacher hasn't a clue as to what you're talking about .

You're almost late to work because your A. versicolor sling molted during the night and you wanted the exuvia to show off.
When your coworkers ask if you have a tarantula in your apron today, and you have 3!
When your manager convinces your coworkers that you have let loose giant tarantulas in the stock rooms to 'take care of the rat problem.'
You ask for a B. dubia colony for your 21st birthday.
When you contimplate ordering a $500 generator so that when the power goes out in the winter you wont freak out about the T's getting too cold.
You have free range spiders in your bed room, and know exactly where they hang out and when they eat.
You consider feeding your tropical fish to the T's so that you can turn the aquarium into a terrarium.
You keep carnivorus plants in your bedroom to catch the stray crickets and roaches.
You think your special edition Darth Vader Mr. Potato Head would make a really awesome hidey hole...
You wait weeks for the best drill at Sears to go on sale the day after Thanksgiving so that you can put cleaner looking air holes in terrariums.
You buy foods that only come in recycleable containers that would perfectly hold a tarantula.
You (unintentionally) scare people on the city bus while you try and pose a freshly molted exuvia before it hardens too much on your way to work.
A professor at a top state university askes you to work in his lab after he sees the pictures you take of an exuvia through his microscope that you 'borrowed'.
You are on a first name basis with the curator of the arthropod museum at said state university. And you also convince him that he needs your entire life span of a B. smithi molt record for the museum becuase it is an endangered species, you have significant provenance so it isn't illegal, and it is 'educationally important'. But you really just want to show off your hard work.

You've got to admit, it would have been a heck of a lot more gross if they'd had it coming out his butt.
