Not sure, really. It's been a long time since I have counted. But over 130 snakes alone (the number always changes almost daily). But it's the systems I have in place that really help out a lot. Like on Sunday, for example.... we wash every water bowl in a bleach/antibacterial solution. We have over 130 bowls down to about 1 hour. My rooms are structured for easy mobility, easy cage access, and my work station is on wheels and rolls as we work. Before I made the rolling work station (which is also outfitted with stacks of newspapers, supplies, and water pitchers, etc) half that amount of bowls would take twice that long. My cage designs are also designed around making the work easier. The entire front of every cage opens so that one can reach any part.



What is your layout like? What kinds of cages do you have? And what species of boids do you keep? It all makes a difference, believe it or not.



>>Wow, LESS than two hours a day on hundreds of animals? I spend that much time on about thirty snakes. How many animals do you care for overall?
