"Only one. A smaller one preferably. And it is to remain absolute secret. James and I, of course, will take care of your snakes, but I know you can’t bear to be apart. I don’t doubt your control. It’s small enough to be invisible under your robes and charmed to keep your sleeves from flying up and inadvertently revealing your secrets. And it will adjust it's temperature automatically to ensure the comfort of your snakes. It will also only take orders from you, and can adjust itself to anywhere on your body." The words flowed out of him quickly, as though practised.
