People keeping 50 cats (or dogs) in their homes are generally considered "hoarders". Some even believe these people have a predisposed mental illness or 'addictive' personality.

What keeps a general reptile keeper with a rack full of snakes from being labeled a reptile 'hoarder'?

Is it related to the quality of care? ease of care? responsibility required to keep the animal?

Or is it a 1 dog = 10 snakes type balance that makes things acceptable?

Do you believe that there are 'reptile hoarders' out there?

Just looking for opinions on the topic and trying to spark a good discussion
