Sounds like it's time for a little self reflection. Take a look at you and your situation. Are you really spending more time with your animals than you are your boyfriend? Do you put them ahead of him? Is he being unreasonably jealous or concerned? One thing I can tell you is, I am engaged, we have a baby, over 50 snakes, a boat load of rats. But, my girls ALWAYS come first.

Now if he is just jealous because deep down inside he feels you love your snakes more than him, then that's a him problem. If you're really spending more time with your animals than him because you really DO love them more than him, then that's a you problem. Next time he complains, think to yourself how much time you've spent with your animals that day versus how much time you've spent with him. Maybe you'll learn whether or not it's him being unreasonable, or you being obsessive. Once you realize who is really the problem with the relationship, you'll know how to fix it.
