Rats and Snakes.

[wilomn]

I have about 25 ball pythons with plans for more so Im looking into starting a rat breeding coloney (for obvious reasons). Im remodeling some space in my house specificly for this project. My question is how seperate do my snake and rat coloney's need to be? If I could keep them in the same room that would save me a lot of time and money but Im thinking thats not a good idea, am I right?

You can keep them together.

Or, you can keep them separate.

There's folks doing it both ways with success with both species.
