Very very true. On my buget, I can't get much more than I currently have. I have two that I am paying on and will have paid of when they are available come spring along with a 3rd that I am planning on. Right now a rack system needs to come before anything else. I have one that I will be getting here in another week, but it only holds 12 and it is only going to hold my '06s for a few months. I would like to breed, but that will be a few years down the line after alot more research.
I started with one 5 years ago, the others have come in the last 2 years. I am limiting myself just because I don't want to have so many that I can't pay attention to them all, keep up on cleaning or any other problems that may arise. My snakes are just as much my family as my other "furkids". It's why I live in the house I do, could find a nicer one I am sure but my landlord is cool about my animals, and I am not going to risk getting one who says they are but aren't.
