so, keeping snakes is fine, but you cannot buy or sell them.

thats weird. at least you can keep them. how about trading and re-homing snakes, if there is no money involved, so that its not a sale?

about the rats: its hard to believe that you cannot find a way to get female rats. but then, its a really sneaky tactic: the breeders dont let go of any females, so others cannot get into their market and they have a monopoly.

maybe you could look for lines of lab rats, these are sold as laboratory products for medical / biological research. maybe a lab, university, or research institute can get a few for you. or you need to make friends with some rat breeders. or you need to catch one in the night-time wilderness of a major city.


on a side-note: weird things are happening in Turkey, i hope you soon get youtube and twitter back. its ridiculous that just because your president cannot deal with criticism, he treats platforms like youtube and twitter as some kind of "people" that are "out to get him", while they are really just tools to communicate and share information. and then he brags about how powerful he is and how he displayed his strength and determination.... by blocking two of the most important services the internet has to offer. its so ridiculous, i have to keep myself from describing this person, because right now i could not come up with a description that would not involve lots of foul language. i hope these internet bans dont last for long.
