That is a lot and had to have hurt is that part oft he reason they are an ex?

We currently have 4 species (Ball Pythons, Kenyan Sand Boas, Nicuraguan Boas and Corn snakes) that total about 300 snakes. We are expecting about 325 eggs this year, so I don't know what we'll end up with, but I know we'll have more by than our current collection after the babies start hatching.

My largest collection is the ball pythons. I've got several dozen of them, few normals.

I am not sure the exact number, but it was somewhere around 65 or so. I am down to around 35 now, which is much more managable.

You got that right. They were all in another building, so I was gone at 6 am to tend to them for awhile, off to work, and then home to eat and back to the critters til 9 or so.

I'm slowly getting back a decent collection, and the new girlfriend even had a tortoise before we got together! Now she loves 'em all!

Chris

Well, my largest 'collection' would be animals of the stuffed variety. I have over 150. :D

As for snakes, though, at the largest the number was 15. Now I have 8 - 4 BPs and 4 Corns. :)

LOL!!! I see you also have a passion for stuffed animals..... :8:

I don't know if we're talking solely snakes here or not.. but I'm going to assume all herps are included for my poll answer.

Sounds like you did a good upgrade there! :gj:

I had around 40 before my company got shut down in april. Since then I have had to sell a few off to make the bills around here becuase unemployment is just nowhere near what I need for bills and I havent been able to find any new place of employment so Ive been having to do odd jobs here and there to make ends meat but right now I have 26 snakes, a tort, a leo and a water monitor and somewhere around 30 rats and I guess about 20 asfs. Plus a german shepard, 2 kitties, a ankle bitter, and 8 siberian huskies

It always evolving the goal being to fill up a 400 sq feet snake room :rolleyes:

i now have 18,plus whatever hold backs hatch out,1 burm,1 blood,1 boa,1 anaconda,and a whole lotta balls

i have over 2000 comic books, all key issues
100 dubias
15 leos
7 balls
5 fish
5 asfs
3 dumbos
1 crestie

thats alot of comics

I currently have 20 BPs, 5 eggs about to hatch & at least 4 more clutches on the way. 18 are permanent residents. I don't know how many holdbacks (or those that are not sold immediately) I will have at the end of the season.

Wow! My hero...lol.

My collection has dropped almost in half! I used to have a lot but i sold most to get money for ball morphs.... I have 6 snakes...
1 Male Albino Ball
1 Male Pastel Ball
1 Male Spider Ball
2 Female 100% Het Albino Balls
1 Male 100% Het Albino Ball

I Have 3 Het ALbino x Het ALbino ball Eggs In The Incubator, and another clutch (het albino x het albino ball) on the way... My other female just had her pre-lay shed today....

ANd one lizard...
1 Male Argentine B&W Tegu

Im going to be picking up a lot more female ball morphs... (Pastels, mojaves, lessers, clown, pied, etc...) But im still saving up for them, ill probably be buying them at the white plains expo this july....

8 ball pythons
1 cat
15,000 magic cards (I quit over 3 or 4 years ago, I just don't have the heart to sell them, even though I got some pretty smoking stuff, no P9, but a near full set of blue dual lands, 20 foil plains of all the same art, signed Forces of Will, plus tons and tons of various "staple" cards of past extended and type 2 formats)

My biggest collection if going by species would be ball pythons (13), if animals in general, snakes (18). I don't really collect anything else.

DAMN!! I Just love Huskies...If You want to get rid of some you can always count on me.... :banana:

At any given time I figure I have between 35-40 snakes (maybe over 40 at this point -- I haven't done a count in a little while). I buy and sell frequently, though this year I am REALLY hoping to stabilize my collection, get down to only the snakes I really truly love looking at and get a huge thrill out of every time I open up their tubs (or beloved pets that ain't goin' anywhere), and get to a point where everything new that I want is something I'm hoping to produce rather than buy ... Though who knows if I'll ever get to that point ;)

I'm just wondering when my chinchilla collection is going to surpass my snakes ... Hovering right around 20 chins right now, but I could see that exploding sometime soon even more than it already has :)

I usually figure that at any given time I have between 70-80 animals in the house -- it's an ever changing number what with things being born, sold and purchased all the time :P

My biggest collection is guns. Currently 26 and about 3000 rounds of assorted ammo. This is only half of what I had about 3 years ago. All 43 were registered and ATF came by to make sure I still had possession of all of them. That was ok but the 7000 rounds of 7.62X39 ammo cause them a little stress so I thinned out the collection. But I am always in the market for a numbers matching Albanian SKS...

BP's, I have 2 as pets. When the next Reptile expo comes around in Sept. I want to get a Woma Ball. I think I am becoming a sucker for the reduced patterns... LOL

I have had at most 5 total herps in the house at one time(not counting snakes/turtles/frogs/etc I'd catch and keep for an afternoon when I was a kid) and I'm tying that current record right now, but that will likely expand with more geckos this year. I've never had more than one snake at a time.

Since people are listing other collections.. my collection of fishing lures is huge, uncountably so. A couple hundred? A thousand? More? Not to mention that they are currently spread throughout places and people I visit in 4 states and 2 countries. THAT collection will likely double in numbers after this coming winter when weather keeps me indoors more and I plan on taking up crafting my own custom lures.

I currently have 6 Balls and will be finalizing payment on a female pastel on Friday. I also may be picking up a male pastel to.

Right now, I currently own 6 snakes. But with all my reptiles together, it makes 8.
2 BPs
2 Kings
1 Corn
1 Dumeril's boa
1 Red Eared slider
1 Giant Leo

I currently have 4 ball pythons, 2 amazon tree boas, and 3 colombian boas.

I'm planning on trading one of my female colombians for a pastel ball python from a friend, and probably going to get a few baby morph ball pythons once they start hatching out :)

I guess my collection would be males at the moment...... lol... I have a 1 adult human (boyfriend), 1 five year old child,.... two male checkered garters,. and one male normal ball python..... So right now my count is five males to one little old lady in the house...lol.. .but in a bout a month I will be adding a femal spider balll python ,... which will bring up th esnakes to a count of four... and then my Boyfriend has two female Ball pythons.... man if we were ever to move in together that would be a count of six snakes to three humans...... hmmm...
