When i talked to a local breeder near me, He said when people ask him what he does for a living he responds "I clean cages". He probably has around 40+ BPs, 6 boas , and a tegu. It is a lot of work when you have so many reptiles but if you can handle it then all is good. But owning a bunch can end up being a full time job. He lost his job a couple months back and now breeding and doing reptile education for students is his job.
