    Rat Feeders in Snake Room
    Im going to start breeding rats and want to know who here breeds there rats in the same room as there BP's? Im unsure if the smell of them would make the snakes a little more aggressive or maybe not even matter at all.

    Mine would think it's feeding time, all the time. They come out of their hides when I bring in the bucket of thawed rats into the room ;)

    I was thinking the same but then again if the rats were in the room all the time, the snakes might eventually get used to the smell and only react when they get inside there homes.

    I have a tank full of mice right below my ball pythons tank, he doesn't seem to react any differently.

    My rat rack is right next to my snake racks. I have not observed any aggressive behavior from the snakes as a result.

    I have done it for years (until recently) and never had any problem, snakes did not think it was feeding day everyday and their behavior was not changed in anyway.
