I recently moved out into more rural surroundings and quickly noticed a rat colony living on the side of the house. I have to get rid of them anyway, and I was wondering if it was safe to feed those wild rats to my snake. Since rats are so famous for carrying disease I was worried it might not be such a good idea. Are there any dangers in feeding him the wild rats?

Kind Wishes,
Christine
