Well I'm single & a home-owner, so I'm totally outa control! Naw, I'm kidding...my "limitation" comes from what I can take good care of (currently 16)
and give enough attention to. I've had WAY more snakes than this in the past...and that was OK then, but now I really enjoy fewer, with more quality time.
It's not just about the enjoyment of having a beautiful creature sharing my space...it's about how many cages do I enjoy cleaning, & having enough hours
in the day, as snakes are not my only passion. (-that would be so easy!)
