I think they are just like anything else. If one is good, 3 is better. Throw an addictive personality in there and it grows and it can get out of hand. These animals are pretty easy to take care of and if you use a rack system, the footprint can be very small. The problem comes when one get's bored. It's easy to get passionate about something and jump in with both feet and a credit card only to grow out of it in a relatively short amount of time. You are left with animals that you don't want or care about anymore. It's a lot more responsibility than you think. I have to be really careful because I have a wicked addictive personality. When I got back into snakes I had visions of rooms full of racks and I had to take a step back and think about it before it got out of hand. I'm glad that the older me is able to do that better than the younger me was. lol Having said all that, I get it. Snakes are fun. Growing your collection is fun and I didn't mean to put a negative spin on it. If you have the means to care for lots of animals and give them the care they deserve, more power to you. When my wishlist is complete I will have about 10 snakes.. And to clarify, I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. Especially the members that are breeders.
