I had a female about 2 weeks ago that just looked awesome and her litter had about 5 of them that looked just like her and so far im still growing them out but in the end i think that my snakes are more important and need to feed so i doubt that no matter how cool and cute they look theyre still food for my snakes. After all, my snakes are worth more than the rats are but yes theres times i dont want to feed them off and sometimes i just make them breeders
