when doesa hobby become to large

It becomes too many when you no longer take care of the animals health & well being properly- may that be 2 or 2000.

Yup. I currently care for over 40 snakes, 3 Beardies, 1 Knob Tail Gecko, & 3 dogs. It's a LOT of work, but I can still handle it just fine by myself & provide them with excellent care. I know who has eaten, who has pooped, who has not pooped, who needs to be misted, what they each weigh, etc. It takes me between 5-8 hours a week to care for them but even with a 40+ hour job and school I can manage on my own.

I guess it depends on the keeper's passion and sense of responsibility.
