Re: bps,rats and mice oh my
I did have all of my rats in the same room as my snakes up until a little while ago. Now I just keep a couple of my males in there when they're not with the ladies :D. I do find that my feeding responses seem to be better now that the rats are not in there constantly because I can prescent a half hour or so before I feed by bringing in a tank with some babies and a bit of bedding to get the snakes interested while I thaw out food for the ones who take f/t.
Edit: Sorry to answer the question I don't believe there is any detrimental affects to keeping snakes and rats in the same room. The only thing I worried about constantly was if one of the rats got out and started chewing on some wires!
