Top ten signs you might be a newt nut

[Molch]

weathered in in a snowstorm today; not going to work. So I came up with these:

top ten signs you might be a newt nut

10) the sight of an empty tank makes your brain go giddy with possibilities

9) after a long hard work day, you wish you could just be a newt in one of your tanks

8) your family refers to you as "the weirdo down in the cellar"

7) You feel permanently chilled because you refuse to let the room temperature go above 60 degrees.

6) newt-watching has pretty much replaced TV as your nightly entertainment

5) your fridge is 80% newt food, 20% people food

4) you chop earthworms with the same knife you use to chop the veggies and hope the family won't notice

3) you've been stared down by an escapist feeder cricket while sitting on the can at 3 a.m.

2) If your spouse/significant other should ever announce "it's either me or the newts", you know a nice hotel you can recommend

and the # 1 sign you might be a newt nut...

1) This next tank will be your last one. Really. This time, you MEAN it.

Thanks for a good laugh!

I can so relate to that last one!

number 10 - 8 - 7 - 6 and offcourse number 1 funny but so real

 

[Azhael]

Dawn, we all can xD
I particularly like number 3, as it has indeed happened to me and it was not pretty.

 

[DeCypher]

Oh, no. I think I may be a newt nut.

 

[eljorgo]

hahaha Oh yeah some of those are so real!

10-9-8-6-5-4 Those are just me!!! hahaha

About number one I have to say I am NOT like that. In my opinion some people in this hobby (good they are rare xD) simply don't like to have boundaries or limits and will with no problem raise the numbers of tanks like they want with no problem at all.
Those are called, Super caudate maniacs. I´m one of those sick b******* LOL.:kill:

Cheers,

Hysterical! I was lucky because the gal I married was actually the one who LIKED the newts. ;-) Thank you for the smile this AM!

 

[Georgimw]

hehe number 4.

 

[dragonlady]

Heehee...Great list!

I have to say that my number one is not swearing for this to be my last tank but rather what piece of furniture can I do without now?!?! Also, there is the question as to whether or not I need all 3 kids...man, they do take up a lot of room!! lol

 

[Molch]

another one:

you check every new piece of furniture for sturdiness to see whether it will hold a tank

or, if you're like me, you just build your own furniture to fit the tank in the first place

11. Everyone in the pet store knows your first name and automatically goes for a mealworm cup, brine shrimp net, or cricket bag the moment they see you get out of your car in the parking lot.

 

[DeCypher]

You have a seperate bank account that is entirely devoted to your caudates

 

[fishkeeper]

LMAO at number 3. You can also replace escapee cricket with escapee roach for the same situation.

12. You know the height off the floor of every piece of furniture in the room, and every possible crevice in all rooms adjacent to the one your newt tanks are in.

One year I got a TON of scrap lumber from lofts when school was done for the year. It made me four 2-shelf stands!

hmm...what size tank do your kids need and what are their temperature preferences? Do they feed on bloodworms and night crawlers? Are they house broken? If so, someone might be willing to take them in exchange for some newts...:bowl:
