I recently switched over to Siberian dwarf hamsters and let me tell you they are a joy, cuter than mice, They get bigger than mice so thats good for my growing snakes, they breed more than mice "Every 14 days is my understanding" and the best part is they don't smell nearly as bad as mice or rats can. That being said there is an evil side, They can be very aggressive, I purchased a colony of 5, 1 of the females had 4 baby's with her. The baby's are now on there own but let me tell you it was a job separating the young from the colony without getting bit. However I will put up with the aggression as it seems there is way more reward than risk, I have not yet offered any of them to my snakes so I don't know how they will handle the change but I don't anticipate a problem
