    Yeah, I really like the ratties. I know if at some point I have a wean or bigger and a snake refuses.... I will probably have a pet rat lol.

    Both for me. If I had to cancel my breeding plans for what ever reason i'm ok with just taking care of them.

    Both pet and hobby for me, then again I'm on my fourth reptile species and I've lost count of the number of species of small mammal.

    Both. I've always had snakes and would probably still keep more than "normal" if I decided to stop breeding.

    Rats make awesome pets. I kept them as pets for years but strangely became very allergic after having kids. I do currently have 1 because she's the sweetest girl ever and even though I have to scrub myself with Dawn after touching her I couldn't feed her to anyone.

    Disagree with most here

    Most people are saying both. I disagree with most of them, but not all. Most people reall don't have a hard time selling and trading ball pythons. To me that makes it a hobby. Do I like them yes, love them no. I love my dog and wouldn't trade her for the world, actually was offered a substantial amount for her and turned it down. If anyone offerd that to me for any of my snakes they would be gone, to me that means hobby.

I pick C servants Yuri gets his water changed at least three times a day , five spray down and at least twice he drags his hides to the middle of the tub and waits on top just looking out for someone to fix the mess he made .. But love him to pieces

    Both for me. Ive already sold off my hobby animals because we are moving to a smaller place in two years(even that was hard because I liked all of them). I kept the pets although am still breeding the few corns I have.But when we move they will be pets only and no more breeding at all.
    I still have room for one more probably a ball python or I may keep a baby corn or two.
