This literally happened today at Petsmart! I bought a mini heat mat and got asked what I keep. I think I blew the girl’s mind.

The girl who helped me was chatting with some customers ahead of us (which took forever). She was describing her pets. She had reptiles, fish, etc. in multitudes, apparently.

I tend not to tell people. Only my closest of friends know. Most of my Family doesn't even know. I stopped telling people because when I woudl say I have a whole extra room in my house that is just full of ant colonies they seem to think I have a bunch of uncle milton setups everywhere or something. So I don't care to waste the time explaining the difference between what I do and the uncle milton stuff. Especially since its not like they end up being at all interested. There are exceptions though, if I meet someone that expressly shows interest in nature or insects in general. But that's far and few between.

Same here. When people at the pet store ask what I have at home, I just make up some excuse.

 

Really? There are literally like 5 people at the pet store that now know i have an ant colony. Just ask them, AntsDakota, and they would remember me (pretty hard not to remember someone who keeps ants)

Someone at that store had 9 aquariums, ranging from 5-190 gallons.

That’s a lot!

Your real name is AntsDakota? Or are you faking your information?

I think one phrase sums this up pretty well: I'm single for a reason

Every girlfriend I've ever had has left me because of my interests. They just don't understand...

imagine having girlfriends

[Thunder_Birds]

Hahaha Well, I am not aloud to have a girlfriend yet, two more years...

I think it is just like having a BFF, but evan better friends than that

My kids love the ants - no one else seems to care except fellow ant keepers.

[RushmoreAnts]

It’d be nice to find a girlfriend at an entomology class, if one decided to take one.

Fish people are like ant people.  They never stop with just one set up lol.

[RushmoreAnts]

Except aquariums take much more space and maintenance. You can just stick a queen ant in a test tube and leave her be for a few weeks.

Haha, I think it would be interesting, would have to be one freaking committed girl   (or crazy one)

[RushmoreAnts]

Unless she also appreciates arthropods; girls like that would most likely be found in entomology classes, as I said-
