That keep a number of snakes large enough to eventually lead to breeding your own rodents (rats, mice etc.)
I am curious as to whether or not there has ever been any published studies linking rat breeders or multiple-rat hobbyists with any type of respiratory issues?

I ask out of concern for my families health because I have been breeding my own rats in house; 10-15 colonies of 1.4 for a half dozen years now and even though I provide ample space for them (over 100 sq. inches per) a hardwood chip (beta) and clean every four-five days, (NEVER an ammonia smell) I am concerned that the fine dust particles and/or rat/mouse dander and/or bacteria might be doing some harm to my insides.

Particularly curious to hear from those that breed rodents on a commercial scale.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
