nope never stops I started out with a sngle black rat snake ( local wild ) I currently have 23 snakes. I been doing reptiles removals for only 3 years. and I have doubled the collection in those 3 years. That also because the SPCA in delaware does not handle reptiles at all. and i limited myself to snakes only. I end up only buying 9 of the snakes the rest are rescues or the result of rescues or the unplanned breeding that happen when a snake came in with mites and i manage to transport them into the reptile room ( since my QT room currently my bed room) I need my own place to house snakes and rodents. I figure if i can get a 3 bedroom place with a garage I can turn the garage into a 4 room (6 if it a double car garage) reptile building. 2 rooms for snakes 1 room a rodent room and a office type room . if a double car deal I have a restroom and a bedroom right out ther then only got ot go to the main house to eat and help mom. Shethen has her room and 2 guest rooms and no reptiles in the house ( she got friends that don't visit due to the snakes)
the rat I doubled was 5 then 11 and now 23 so next year I should be around 48 snakes lol.. ( need to be shot and disowned at that point my family says lol)
