It isn't "just" to get rid of breeder rats, as I thought I had indicated in the sentence below. I've actually been wanting to expand my collection in terms of the number of species I have for quite some time. Some of the bigger species I am considering are RTBs, carpet pythons, blood pythons, woma and/or black headed pythons, and beauty snakes. Not to mention several smaller species and several lizard species. If I could ever decide on just one, I'd probably have it already!
