The defendant also pleaded guilty to failing to provide the snakes a proper environment and failing to protect them from pain, injury, suffering or disease.
Among the reptiles found at the house was a Blood Python, a Salmon Hypo Boa and Cinder boa.
Wallace previously pleaded guilty to a charge of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, admitting that she failed to provide veterinary care to the border collie that suffers ecto-parasitism.
Mr Brown told magistrates that the prosecution accepted her guilty pleas and would be offering no other evidence to ten other animal cruelty charges she faced.
The court heard how Wallace was on an 18-month waiting list to see a medical specialist for unspecified health problems.
Her lawyer, David Ward, said the defendant also had 'some issues with the family' and asked for sufficient time to prepare a medical report.
Chairman of the bench, Malcolm Smith told Wallace who was released on bail: 'You have pleaded guilty on the first day of your trial.
'Some credit will be due in terms of any sentence although clearly not full credit.'
Sentencing was adjourned until January 16.
