What I mean is don't get a rack thinking you can now have 20 snakes because it will be easy. I would rather see someone with 2-4 snakes that they can dedicate time to than 20-40 that they just keep locked away because they can barely keep up with the maintenance.
Haha ! Crazy cat lady. That made me laugh out loud. I totally get and respect what you are saying.

That is not my intention what so ever. I don’t plan to breed nor just stockpile snakes to say I have them.

These are pets to me and I want the best for them. I’m just trying to decide eventually where to go as I’m in a temporary time in my life. If this work well and are easy to maintain and the snakes are growing and happy maybe I go a full rack when I move for say $500 as opposed to double maybe triple the price for pvc.

I pkan to have maybe 3-4 ball pythons max. I have a mandarin rat snake. I may add a corn down the line or something like that. But that would be it for me. I want to interact with my animal and have docile animals that trust me and that I am able to handle and enjoy.

No crazy cat cat lady here. Just someone trying to find out for themselves what’s the best route.
