Mice near KSB's

SandBoaMorphs Oct 04, 2009 10:32 PM

I am planning on housing my KSB's next to my mice colonies. I've heard that with some snakes this may be a problem. Thoughts, experiences, warnings?

I have kept mice in the next room over, but never the same room. I would think that the snakes would be active for a few days (looking for the mice), but will eventually calm back down...

Just a thought.

I've housed mice and rats in the same room as my snakes before. Not much of a problem. Tends to be harder on the rodents than the snakes

Maybe it was milksnakes or kingsnakes that wouldn't settle down.

Thanks to both of you. Travis did you get the pictures of my colonies?
