2) 3- 6 of them
3) 6-15 of the said items/pets
4) anything over 16 animals/ items you need help

Re: when doesa hobby become to large
It becomes too many when you no longer take care of the animals health & well being properly- may that be 2 or 2000.

Exactly. If you can't keep up either physically or financially with the proper care of your animals, you've gone too far. ALSO...if your hobby intrudes on the lives of your family, then I think it's gone too far.
But, so long as all the family (household) members are in agreement about what is acceptable, and so long as the animals are well cared for....there is no set number...such a number will vary to extremes from one person to the next.

Re: when doesa hobby become to large
It becomes too many when taking care of them becomes more of a job then a joy. As long as it's still fun, it's not too many.

Yup. I currently care for over 40 snakes, 3 Beardies, 1 Knob Tail Gecko, & 3 dogs. It's a LOT of work, but I can still handle it just fine by myself & provide them with excellent care. I know who has eaten, who has pooped, who has not pooped, who needs to be misted, what they each weigh, etc. It takes me between 5-8 hours a week to care for them but even with a 40+ hour job and school I can manage on my own.
I guess it depends on the keeper's passion and sense of responsibility.
