Long story short, a friend of my girlfriend has this stupid rat they didn't want anymore,
Tara (my gf) brings it to me for snake food. My carpet could probably take it, large rat...maybe xl.
Anyway this little rat is and has been raised as a pet so i am having problems feeding it to my snake and she is pissy about it.
She doesnt even like snakes. If it was your typical feeder rat that wanted nothing more than to bite the crap out me...sure no problem...but its fairly friendly and trusts humans....would you feed it, have your roomate feed it, keep it, or let it go?

I would make the decision for myself that made the most sense to me if I were in your situation. Just because it's a rat doesn't automatically make it snake food...

It sounds like its more of a "here's this thing I don't want" than a gift. Maybe she just doesn't know any better that pet rats aren't really considered feeders.
I'd say try to find it a home yourself/keep it, but if you do decide to feed it to your snakes make sure its healthy.

Not to be heartless, but I'd feed it. Sorry, but I would.

Re: What to do...
I don't think your heartless...would be sensless for me though. I have 2 doz medium rats in the freezer which is the appropriate size for them. This rat was pushing it sizewise even for my carpet so i saw no need to kill a pet rat...it even had a name , i think that was the biggest thing, and he was pretty nice and personable as well...
Just didn't feel right
