    How many species do you keep in your collection?

    Hello all,
    I thought I'd ask how many species you currently keep in your collection. This topic interests me because there seems to be many who keep a "deep and narrow" collection of just one species with many examples, or a "wide and shallow" collection with one specimen of several species. I think each has its benefits, and personally love to see a collection that specializes in one species. I am still on the hunt for my "one species", so have several species at the moment.

    I am interested in hearing how many species you keep, and if you'd like to post how many of each as well, that would be great too. I'm thinking that we'll see lots of BPs since we are on BP.net, but I'm also thinking we might end up being surprised.

    Myself, I have 4 species, 2 of which are Kenyan sand boas, 1 hognose, 1 BCA, and 1 ball python

    Balls, BCI's, & a GTP.
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

    I currently keep 10 different species of snakes and two species of geckos. I love them all for different reasons, and I can't imagine limiting myself to only one species and missing out on the great qualities that others have to offer!
