Is 3 too many?

[amozo]

I can afford 3 snakes. I already have two, one corn and one ball python. Will having three seem like a lot more to care for than two? I am thinking of adding another ball python to my family. (2 small dogs and 2 snakes)

If you get another BP, aside from initial setup shouldn't be anything crazy. As you know, they're pretty low maintenance barring any issues that come up.

Nope. It's not a noticeable difference at all. One more mouth to feed every week, and one more tank/tub to clean. Not a huge difference in time commitment or cost. I'd say go for it!

Of course, opinions may be biased on this site...lol!

Im going to go against the flow just to be different and say YES.

I'm sort of a rebel too, going against the flow, I vote YES as well!

Most people here won't tell you that 3 is too many because a lot of us have more than that

That being said, it isn't much extra work to add another one, but with using tanks they can end up taking up a lot of space. Getting another snake is a slippery slope, as most people here can tell you. I started with a normal and just had to have certain other kinds, and now I have ten ball pythons with breeding plans stretching into the next four years (concrete anyway, I have ideas for after that) and aspirations to add some boas to my collection. Once you start...

As said above once you start you can't stop! I'd say 3 isn't too manu, it really isn't much more work unless you have big display cages with lots of decorations. A simple tub/rack setup or even a tank with paper towel and a couple of hides is easy to care for

If you're asking then yes, 3 is too many.

let's look at from a different view point... When you added 1 you increased your work load by 100%. Now you have 2 snakes. If you add another you are only increasing your workload by 50%. So. I'm going to go with no, it's not much more work. Just keep adding your snakes 1 at a time and the amount of work you place on yourself will keep dropping...

I like the way you think! I may get another ball now, maybe a female to raise and someday be a pair for my Fireball
