Please don't release captive bred rats into the wild population. It's unfair for a creature that's never had to hunt for it's dinner, it's unfair to the wild rodent population to burden it with yet another rat to compete with, it adds to a rodent problem for humans and it gives snake people a bad rep when they do this sort of thing. In the future, either learn to properly size your feeder rats or make allowances to keep a live prey item over to the next week to use as a feeder. Release of any captive animal because we just don't want to deal with it is an irresponsible act.
(sorry about that hijack Sean). Very nice rat! How you folks luck out! I never stumble across anything interesting here in Toledo - The World Center for Boring Rats.![]()
