Well compared to bp's it's a lot of work. I guess it's not really "a lot of work" but it does take some time. I'm in college and most the times when I come home I don't want to have to deal with them, I would rather be spending time with my snakes. 1.1 is easily manageable but you gotta keep in mind refilling water bottles, feeding, cleaning cages etc. I don't have a great setup but for my limited space it's all I can manage, that's why I'm probably just gonna stop breeding.
