Believe it or not, I only had one snake back in January, now I have 11 BPs (soon to be 12), a KSB, a BCI, 2 cresties, an African Fat Tail Gecko, 3 Leopard Geckos (arriving tomorrow ) and I'm caring for 2 rat snakes that belong to my sister. If you want to keep your collection small don't build/buy a rack. My collection exploded when I built my rack which I only keep BPs in.
