So! My girl and I have been together for just under a year and she has been pretty supportive of my obsession with snakes. I've learned not to push my luck and have kept the collection small with three corns (one of which she bought me for my birthday). Well, Saturday we were at the local flea market which, amazingly enough has two reputable herp booths. I'm extremely critical about the way most herp shops keep their animals but have had no complaint about either guy other than the fact that one of them sells wild caught ( I won't jump on that soap box in this post). Anyway, each time we go I always comment on how cute hognose snakes are. But this weekend I didn't breathe a word about it.

I was just chatting with the vendor and before I knew it Jewell pulls out her wallet and buys two unrelated neonate Western Hognose snakes. Male and female.....:crazy01: I was floored and speechless.

We eventually made our way over to the second herp vendor and I struck up a conversation with him too because I'm a chatty bastard. Then, just as I'm leaving I hear "Oh my God! Brady look!". BAM! The wallet flies open and we walk out with a two foot long Lavender, Amelanistic, California King Snake.

:dancer: I'm keeping my girl forever!! I once swore I'd never get married again but I think that's right out the window now.
 
I know a LOT of guys on here would call you a really lucky SOB.

Personally, being a chick, I've had issues with this. Asking "Umm... Don't you think you have enough snakes?" is grounds for dismissal. Worse yet, when they're actually uncomfortable around my critters. Sorry, but they kinda come with me. :)
 
on another note, I totally judge boys on the type of pets they want. One guy was talking about how he wanted an unneutered husky puppy someday. Nothing against unfixed animals, huskeis, or puppies, but those three things combined are pretty much my worse case scenario for a pet. I don't think I could date him.
 
Thats great!

I know my boyfriend is ok with my snakes - although he does occasionally caution me against getting more right now. Which it totally fine, he knows my circumstances and such. But he also knows I expect to have a reptile room someday... and doesn't care! :) So he's a keeper.
 
Isn't it funny how we have a tendancy to rate a possible bf/gf on their reaction to our herps? Having who is understanding is always nice but having one who is supportive is just a blessing. I think my Karma finally decided to pay me back when I met my girl.
