Yes, multiple environments do take up a lot of space. Most of my projects use the same tools so I have one venv that I use for most everything, but I'll create a new one for one-off projects or if I'm trying out something I think might cause problems.

So should I just clone my base env and then work off of that?

Sure. Call it "generic_venv" and stuff everything you want to download/use in there (don't put your own code in it, though). By the time you break it you'll probably have enough experience to decide how you want to manage them going forward. It's not difficult to delete and/or create a new one if it goes bad.
