I recognize that I've gone from 0 snakes to 12 within 6 months, but I'm really enjoying it. I love how much my kids have gotten into it - my 9 year old daughter wants a corn for Christmas.
I realize I've yet to hatch my first clutch, but I'm thinking scale (I've got grandiose ideas). Watching the Snakebytes videos has got me thinking. Managing husbandry for a collection my size isn't that tough. But what about when you have several hundred (or thousand) animals?
Efficiency has got to be the key for bigger breeders. Feeding, cleaning tubs, changing water all seem relatively straight forward, even for large collections.
How do you keep the humidity up for the animals when in shed? I use a spray bottle now, but no way would that work with a larger collection - there has to be a better way. Maybe some sort of pump sprayer (I'm envisioning the type of sprayer used for pest control- that type of thing)?
How do you manage your records? Like who shed when, who ate when, etc...
I'm nowhere near ready (and may never be) for a several hundred animal collection, but these are the types of issues I think about. I blame the MBA.
