keeping a large collection well cared for is not hard at all as long as you have a SYSTEM. I always come home from work and spend at least an hour or two, if not more poopscooping, and feeding whichever snakes need fed that night in the snakeroom every day. Sunday is my big cleaning day.

When I go away my family looks after them.

Indeed. Might drop to 2.6 in about 4 days. Or 1.4. (I think 1.0 might even change owner.) Then it might climb to about 2.6.48 in about 6 weeks. You never know.

Yeh unfortunately I'm the only snake lover amoung my friends and family. Yeh, I've got a system laid out for my guys too, just kind of prefer a small collection. Love my garters to death, but I actually think I like them better in the wild. So this way I can have a small group to work with and still be able to go out as often as possible and appreciate them in the wild too.

Re: How many snakes do you have?

I am half Finnish and I recall my first bird when I was little was Isko, then I had a whole bunch with ordanary names, but after Casey I didnt have any birds for the first time that I can remeber. when I started to get birds again, I wanted to go back in time and give all my birds Finnish names,as sort of reminisnt of Isko. so far I have had Taru and currently Toivo, my next bird will also receive a Finnish name

Re: How many snakes do you have?

I'm not Finnish, but I've always thought they had the coolest names. I should have done that with my kids, but the family probably wouldn't have understood......
