Snake and rats as pets

Ive always loved animals. All kinds. And the only reason i feed my snakes rats is because there is no way around it but i like rats. I recently got myself two rats as pets. How many of you have BPs and mice/rats as pets (not breeder mice/rats).

I have a few pet rats. And my first generation of breeder girls became pets once they retired. I was pretty attached to them.

Mine were meant as food but all my snakes ate and some ate two and all 4 of my snakes refused to eat the last two. My brother suggested i keep them after both rat pups survived the night snuggled up with my BPs.

Have three of them. Only one was a rejected feeder. The other two were my birthday present. There's no way I would keep mice as pets though, they're way too smelly.

My girlfriend has a pet rat, thats she just had to get when she saw the feeder rats and thought they were so cute.

I kept rats as pets only because they wouldn't breed for me

I'd love to have rats as pets, but with a BP and three mouser cats, a rat would have to fight for its right to party, as it were. Someday, though, when I have enough space for separate animal rooms.

My breeder males are kinda pets. Puppy dog tame and lovely. I also have started selectively breeding dumbos....so those are kinda pets too.

My breeder rats are my buddies. Rats don't live that long anyway so I won't feel bad doing what I must to move forward with breeding and ensure they don't die to unpleasant causes. I've seen how the feeders I bought before were raised and would rather do the deed myself than support those practices any more.

We had a pet rat. Everything was fine, just thoroughly wash your hands before handling the snakes!
