is it ok to keep live mice and snakes in the same room?

No, it is not O.K. to do. Just because a lot of people do it doesn't mean is right. Sure you can do it and be successful at it but you are asking for trouble. Once you acquire a finicky snake it will affect its feeding response and would be that much harder for the snake to accept a meal.

Actually some of my finicky snakes eat better now that the rats are in the room. For the most part I notice no difference. I don't have a single ball python that has gone off feed since I moved the rats into the room. Just a question, have you ever had rodents living in the same room as your reptiles? Just curious. I'm genuinely interested, I haven't seen any negative effects from my experience - Just curious if your speak from experience. I have always wondered if anyone has seen it effect feeding responses. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to see if you've tried it and seen it effect them.

cheers.
