How many reptiles per month?

[Crazy4Herps]

How many reptiles do you acquire per month, on average?

#of months since you acquired your first reptile divided by #of reptiles you currently own

I've been in the hobby for 27 months and I currently own 4 reptiles (as of next week).

27/4=6.75

I obtain a reptile, on average, about every seven months.

well i had at least one reptile since 1993-1995( forget when excatly i got her plus I don't remember al lthe ones I rescued( aquired) and found new home. but if yoult at my last 2 years I doubled my collection ( of keepers ) each year and I am currently up to 21 now if i counted ohe ones i rehomed alsd during theat time I got just about 1 a week. lucky I also limited the numbers recently or I have about 4 a week lol. I hadt oturn reptiles away due to limited room ( I need a pro breeder/s building 4000+ sq ft if i done thinks like I wanted too ) and that just to house the snakes, not counting the food,supplies, ( supplies for the food) , or even a place to put me and the computer..

well since I was 8 i've probably averaged less than one a year, but i've purchased all my current reptiles within the past year(since I graduated from college)

After years away from reptiles, I started again in Dec. I now keep 13 Balls.

More then one per month.
Example on 6/7 received a Painted turtle (scheduled for rehab and release hopefully)
on 6/12 we took in one burmese python and two ball pythons (pics and background hopefully coming soon)
They are to be rehabbed and adopted out. (hopefully)
In house we have a total of only 9 snakes, 1 turtle and 2 monitors (oh and 1 tarantula).
This changes depending on who is able to be adopted out and what room we have. I never ever want to overload myself. In the past I used to keep much higher numbers of herps in house (80+). But as of now I choose not too, do to personal reasons. But we always help in emergencies and do the best we can. Our door is open to those in need. That's the best anyone can do I figure.

I usually acquire new snakes a few months out of the year, after I sell hatchlings to fund it.
