    Question about keeping a pet rat

    in the same room as my ball pythons. Just wondering if this will stress them out or not since they'll always be able to smell her? They're well fed and everything.

    Re: Question about keeping a pet rat

    Alot of people keep rodents in the same room as their BPs. It doesnt seem to affect them in the long run.

    I keep my rats in the same room, granted i just got my pet rats. And just my 2 cents, GET PET RATS. Haha. They're awsome and so much fun.

    I know! We picked up four feeders and ending up keeping one cause she is just too cute. Thinking about breeding her, idk though.

    Re: Question about keeping a pet rat

    theyll be fine. i keep two rats in a cage in the same room as my snakes and i havent had any problems. do ur reading on rat breeding tho. i wanted to breed one of the girls but found out that they can have personality changes after the litter, i didnt want to take that chance cuz my big girl is just to sweet
    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.
