In the case of snakes I have found that right around 12 snakes is the point where I don't feel I am spending an exorbitant time on the work part of care. Before someone jumps on me for the "part time" comment, I will quantify it to mean that snakes can and should not be handled frequently. As too much interaction can actually be harmful to them, having as many as you are comfortable keep actually is best for them as you can spread the "love" around. Also it is nice when 90% of your collection is in blue or was just fed, you can still find someone to hang out with.
This is dead on. Especially the part about three dogs. LOL
