    Keeping BP in same room as rodents

    I was recently able to buy a shelving unit so I could consolidate some of my pet cages. I live in an apartment, so I had my snake in my living room and all my other pets were in my bedroom. I was toying with the idea of moving my snake's tank into my room since I spend more time in my room. The shelving unit has 3 shelves, and I wanted to put her on top. My gerbil and hamster cages would take up the other two shelves. I also have guinea pigs in my room. I'm not too worried about it bothering my rodents, but I didn't want to stress my snake out too much. She is an excellent feeder on F/T, and just moved from mice to rats. My gerbil and hamster are in 20L tanks and my snake is in a 20H. I'm mostly wondering if this would stress any of my pets out. Does anyone keep rodent pets or live feeders in the same room as their snake?

    My snakes and ferrets are in the same room. Never had any issues.
    I also know of many people who breed mice and/or rats and they are in the same room as their snakes with no issues.
    You're good to go.
