Re: How many snakes will you have?
One for now, planning on my second one - can't decide between some sort of RTB or a Carpet Python. I just can't make up my mind I would love to be able to home an Albino Burmese in the FAAAR future, and some sort of Tree Python in the near future.

seriously!
for me, i'd love to have more, but i know that with my current lack of time and with a young family, now is not the time to have or build a super-collection. at the same time, i can still have a pretty moderate group and i must say that i'm very proud of my carpet collection i've amassed!

Re: How many snakes will you have?
well, I really cant think of a number because then i feel like id be rushing into things and just acting like Oh I have to have this many snakes to seem impressive( in my mind that is, i haven't gotten than impression from anyone) so, i'll just see where the current takes me!

Re: How many snakes will you have?
I assumed from day one that I would hit 200 easily... and I do not think that will be that long with holdbacks and hatchlings.
I give it another 3-4 years, and I think that is a modest estimate.
I had an unofficial goal of adding 10 hatchling females a year minimum. I added 9 this year and there is a show coming up in a week and a half... I think I'll hit my quota. 
We have planned for the eventuality of 200-300. It'll just be a matter of being very selective as time wears on... mark em up... move em on.

Re: How many snakes will you have?
I will not stop adding snakes until my entire basement is full.
I have only scratched the surface at 27 right now.
I estimate 20-30 per year at a minimum until my '08 girls hit breeding weight.
