Random Thought-What is your snake limit?

My limit is only determined on whether I have money at the moment. Some of my family thinks I have too many now, which dosen't make me feel good considering I have every intention of getting more. I should get some kind of shelves to put mine on so I will be more organized. I have plenty of time for them, and will not stop until I can no longer handle them (which I hope is never).
 
This was a good thread to read. I've always liked corn snakes but will just be getting my first two in a couple weeks. At first I wasn't going to, but then decided one would be good. Then when I heard about the motleys I just decided two would be good. LOL But I KNOW I love snow corns and would like an anery, so that's 4...

We'll see how it is after my first two. One normal and one amelanistic motley.

Eh, I don't see a need for more than one (unless theres a few morphs you like or are breeding). Plus with just one you get lower costs, less time consuming, and you can show all your affection toawrds it instead of dividing it between 50. But of course I haven't gotten one yet so I think my maximum (and I mean at the very max) 3.

Just my $0.02

Shall we get together and introduce my b/fr to your wife? They can have zero snakes together, we can have limitless and listen to Spandex rock!
 
My limit is 4 snakes.

I now have 19 snakes, 18 tarantulas, 3 lizards and a bird. Plus rats, mice and roaches to feed the aforementioned critters.

So much for limits :dancer:

*Tips for those of you out there with a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/parent/significant other/roommate who tries to put a limit on how many snakes etc you can have:

1. Constantly rearrange your snake cages on the shelves or better still keep them really unorganized. This works when you want to slide in that extra snake unseen. Then in about 6 months when one of the above says "When did you get that new snake?" You can say, "I've had that one forever!" I used this one one time on a roommate and the scary part was it was 3 new corn snakes and they were in the spare room we shared as an office/snake room and I had put them on the shelf right next to his desk and he didn't notice for over 2 months that there were 3 new snakes on the shelf.

2. Go to that local herp show with a friend and if you find something you really want but no you absolutely can't have; buy it any way and give it to your friend to bring to you as a present (ie, birthday, Christmas, anniversary) the next time he/she visits. I used this one once to get a pair of Emperor scorpions; they were the perfect housewarming gift from my best friend.

3. I saved the best for last: Live alone and then you can make the rules. :dancer:

You are funny! Unfortunately, the only thing my b/fr knows about my snakes, is the amount I have, including their vivs.... :rolleyes: And since I do not want to cohabitate since all my snakes are in seperated vivs, he will notice another viv.... :shrugs:
 
limit

at this time I have 45 snakes in my collection and around 50 something hatchlings left.
I will probably keep my collection in the 40's or 50's and work from there.
I think the limit comes when you begin to dread the work and no longer find it rewarding or enjoyable.

Ya know, I have found that I actually prefer it when my SO isn't really into fish (which are my big thing). I am sure the same will be true of snakes. If she really were into snakes, then that'd be less room in the house for my snakey-choices, and that would annoy me. As it stands, I chose the type and I pretty much give her free reign on color (while reserving the right to veto a color I hate). This seems to place me with lots of black, white and grey creatures, as those are her preferred colors- it's going to be kind of like living in a prison, only none of the other "inmates" speak English. :eek1:
 
I would prefer my other half to love snakes too. Having a hobby together is great! But 'allowance' to limitless buying of snakes and no desire to co-decide which ones to buy, sounds really great too!
