One or two — anything more and you are a collector, not a pet owner

33%

As many as you can properly care for — the number is less important than the welfare of the animals

27%

Up to five — enough to have variety without losing control of your living space

20%

It depends entirely on the type of animal and housing — one dog is different from one python

308 — I have to draw the line somewhere
