Keeping rodents in same room???

skyfire_1 Nov 03, 2007 10:46 AM

If I was to keep a pair of Gerbils in a aquarium in the same room as where I keep my snakes, will the snakes sense the rodents? Will they act differently?

Good questions! But I don't know the answers.

I have a tank of (suposedly feeder) rats in the same room as my Great Basin Gopher snake, who now refuses to eat, but is still very active. Could this have some bearing on the issue? Or is it simply that time of year?

The 2 tanks are 40 inches apart, at their nearest sides.

This snake has always had an attitude, and been a finicky eater.
