I have around 50 snakes last count. Thats alot of snakes, big and small, but I spend anywere from 2 to 3 hrs. a night in my snake room. On the weekends w/ the kids we easily spend 3 to 4 hrs. Sat & Sun. My bearded dragon's are all in the house so they are handled often threw the week. My girls take care of our lizards for the most part.
