I am incubating these Yellow Rat snake eggs for my friend, and I am starting to catch the bug.. thinking of keeping one when they hatch. Well, what can I expect, rat owners? Are they ok to handle generally; my friends', the parents of these eggs, are super schitzo and not at all handling snakes, and they musk you as soon as look at you. I don't want something like this; if handled from birth, can they be docile and calm?
I know about caging, size, and feeding requirements; they just eat rats, right? I always have an oversupply of rats w/ our breeding projects; that's no problemo.
Any pros or cons would be greatly appreciated! Pics too if ya want!
