I have too many animals

[Serbianchameleon]

So I think I’m going out of line here.
I have:
2 dogs
3 chameleons
5 fishes
5 praying mantises
4 leaf bugs
2 stick bugs

Total: 21 living creatures

Yeah and I’m getting a gold dust day gecko...

 

[MissSkittles]

That’s not too many! I hope you’ll be showing off pics of your gecko when you get it.

 

[GrayMadder]

Never too many animals

 

[Serbianchameleon]

Yah I just realized there are people with more than 20 chameleons in one room. Not to talk about the rest of the animals . You’ll see pics of the gecko! I promise!

 

[Yoda Chameleon]

I could definitely not handle that much. It could just be because I'm new at reptiles, but with just one chameleon and nothing else I've got my hands full

 

[kinyonga]

Well, @Serbianchameleon ...I hate to tell you but you're an addict.

I don’t think you can have too many as long as you have the space, money, and proper care for them!!

Maybe thats a good thing you know.. I’m just afraid I will not have the time for all of them. Of course my dogs and chameleons will always have my time, but i’m not sure about the others.. I’m doing great atm but I’m afraid for the future. We’ll see, anyways right now they are all living the life!

We range from Chinchillas to bearded dragons. There are at least 3 distinct climate zones. I loose track of full count. so lets see
Chinchilla 1
Bearded Dragon 1
Chameleons 2 Permanente 6 young.
Honduran milk snake 2
corn snake 2
Kenyan sand boa 1
Jungle carpet python 1
Gouldian finches 4
owl finches 2
canary 1
green cheek conure 1
Macaw 1
Chickens 6
So I guess 31 animals, 13 species plus 2 roach colonies and crickets.
I am defiantly an addict. lol I look at homes like "where do I put the animals?"

WOW!!! I'm trying to get on this level!!

 

[AmandaS]

I am looking for a home I can own. I dont think my landlord would like to know about all the pets I have...
2 chameleons
1 bearded dragon
2 rats
1 hamster
1 parakeet
2 dogs
1 cat
It's only 10 animals...but again, that's because I rent. God help me when i find a home to own.

To me, the limit is determined by how many one is able to provide high quality care for and truly have time to enjoy. I was recently tempted to get a crested gecko, but don’t want to test my limits.
I currently have:
4 chameleons
3 leopard geckos
1 bearded dragon
1 big dog
4 cats - only 2 old lazy ones are mine. The other 2 are stepdaughter’s and exceed my feline quota.

 

[Yoda Chameleon]

I don't know how you guys do it

 

[CasqueAbove]

@MissSkittles is right. You have to enjoy it. That is the limit. There is nothing enjoyable about a malnourished animal or a dirty cage. It has always been a part of my life so I don’t notice it. Some of these have been with me for 20+ years. I can always find space but time is limited. I probably spend over an hour a day just looking at them.

I'm actually fighting crested gecko temptation right now as well

Really, I have a limit to where if they have the correct care and I feel like they are enjoying life then I’m content. Atm I have
3 dogs (miniature schnauzers)
1 cat
4 leopard geckos
2 bettas
Some danios
some shrimp
And a cute tank with snails, isopods, and milipedes/centipedes
Really contemplating breeding my leos, but we’ll see in the future
There also may be a frog in the future, who knows
