Grow tent for rats?

[TexanLady]

So I live in Texas and keeping anything living in the garage is a big no no here, however, I have a friend that is successfully growing vegetables year round in his garage with grow tents. Seeing as how last year I spent over 6k on rats I'm thinking of setting up some grow tents in my garage and starting breeding my own. Does anyone have any experience with this? The more expensive grow tent kits come with the ventilation systems, the A/C and heating units and the drip pan. I was thinking of getting one and trying it out, but before I spend a lot of money setting this up I was wondering if anyone else has any experience in raising rats in a grow tent? I'm specifically looking at the Godzilla grow tent kits.

Wow you spent 6k on rodents last year? How many snakes do you have? I love in Texas too, why not put a A.C unit in your garage?

I cannot build a shed in my backyard for a number of reasons, and there is no window in my garage to put a unit. I currently have over 30 breeder females, 11 males, about 40 hold backs, and the varying stock I have for sale.

You said you spent $6k on rodents last year so unless you are renting the property I would find a better way.

My shed dont have windows so i made a hole on the wall for
my A/C
i rather make a hole on a wall than spending thousands of $$ buying feeders!

oh i forgot to mention that im renting the property!
the owner doesnt know that i made a big hole on the wall because i made it on the back so its no visible!

My backyard floods anytime it rains, and where I live has very strict building codes. I've been denied repeatedly for a shed. In order to build the shed I have to level the yard, and build a much taller privacy fence around my entire backyard that will hide the shed from public view. And it can only be made out of certain high priced building materials according to the city and home owners association. And even then I'm sure the board will find another reason to deny my request. I put a tiny little greenhouse up a few years ago and got slapped with a hefty fine and an order to take it down. I'm only going to be in this house for 3-4 more years so it doesn't make sense to spend tens of thousands on redoing my entire yard for a shed I won't use for long.

Where do you live?
if you don't mind me asking

home owners association.

Would love to be locked in a room with the fool that thought this would be a good idea.
I would just insulate the garage and use a portable A/C unit.
