Not eating rats is a whole 'nother story, it's that most of the people I talk to, it hasn't even occurred to them their snake is big enough to be eating rats.
My snake went through a phase where she wouldn't eat rats, only mice, so that part I understand, it's whether or not it's more nutritious and better for the snake to be eating rats, if it's willing to.
