Snakes and Mouse Breeding

Kiknskreem Jan 27, 2004 06:49 PM

Hi guys... I just recently started breeding mice in my home and was wondering if it would in any way affect my snakes (ball python and a snow corn to have the mice living in the same room. My concern was that the constant smell of such tasty treats could make them more aggressive. If anyone has any info on the subject it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I raised rats and gerbils in the same room with an African Rock Python with no agression incidents. She was the tamest ARP I've ever met in my life.. So the rats had no impact on her agression whatsoever. I do the same with my boas now too..

The only problem is it might reduce their feeding response.
