The only snake I have ever kept that had the run of my room- no cage- was a big Everglades rat that was a wild caught adult. It started out pretty mean, and quickly became tame. We had an “understanding” for awhile! It was very cool. It was always lounging up on top of the curtain rod, which he could only get to by getting some sort of hold on the window crank to boost that far up the wall. They will take rats but will prefer eating about ten mice. They will take more if you an afford it. I think if you feed them like that they never stop growing and get thick and muscular, not fat. I believe if you let them observe you enough, they sort of tame themselves. Just figure you out and lose the fear. They have personality and the real nice orange ones are very beautiful snakes.
