You see the same thing with tarantulas, I was proud of myself for putting on the brakes after 9. It seems like once you've had a new specimen home for a bit and are getting used to taking care of it the itch comes on again - and a lot of people in the hobby will just encourage it "oh you have to get that one! Oh just one more!" How many people have asked a discord or forum "should I get species A or species B?" and been answered with a chorus of "GET EM BOTH!" I've learned just to not ask so I won't be encouraged. It takes a lot of self control to say "I don't have space / expertise / time for this one right now" and anyone who makes the responsible choice should be applauded
