Of all my pets, the snakes are easiest. I have geckos, a skink, a chameleon, frogs, birds (canaries and budgies), a couple fancy rats, and a cat.

I won't be getting more rats (the odor and cage cleaning)... and when these birds die, I probably won't be getting more either (they are SO messy...I had forgotten how messy when I decided to get them). Same with the frogs... Very cool animals, but a lot of work. The chameleon is also a lot of work and hates me... he even hides when you look at him lol.

All that said, I think I'd be good with just the cat, skink, snakes, and maybe my giant gecko (leachie).
