Thank you for not taking a crap in the pool today for once. (Multiple lizards and snakes of mine love using their clean water as a toilet)

Tell your son to eat his mouse! He’s not coming out until he eats it. I don’t care how long it takes. (To my husband in regards to our picky hognose who also loves interaction and outside time)

Don’t use that pot. That’s the pot for heating the rats.

Don’t forget to pick up some crickets for the kids on the way home.

I know there’s others but those are probably the weirdest I can recall at the moment :joy:

Lolol. Too relatable. I remember my husband said to me once “there’s sticks and dirt EVERYWHERE”. Yeah. But I need the good stuff. I dunno what’s in that dirt….

Now that he’s into building bioactive he is also buying dirt. And sometimes baking said dirt in the oven in disposable casserole pans to sanitize it. God forbid anyone come over and check the oven and ask what’s for dinner.

Dirt. It’s dirt. We’re baking it. It needs to be clean.

We’d probably both get involuntarily committed… :joy::joy::joy:

Exactly, lol. I had rats defrosting (in containers) on the top shelf of the fridge for that night. My Mom was over and helped herself to a water bottle on the bottom shelf…which put her at eye level with defrosting rats, I’ll never forget the expletives that followed! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
