Hello!
So, I have two small-medium sized female rats who I love very much, as pets. My roommate just adopted a beautiful, young corn snake who is under a year old and pretty small. She eats pinkies. She's a blood corn snake or something like that.
My concern is firstly, that if she were to escape she could get underneath the door crack and this could be an absolute disaster for her since I also have cats. How can we make sure that the bedroom/tank she's in is escape proof? The door to the bedroom is not quite even and at this point she's small enough to fit underneath for sure.
Secondly, I am worried because although I love them, I don't know much about snakes and am really worried that even though she is not big enough yet to actually eat my rats if she had a chance, that she might try and kill them still if she were to get loose and get into their cage (she's definitely small enough to fit through the bars). Any ideas on what I can do to prevent that from happening?
Also, will she eventually be big enough that she will be eating rats or can eat rats??
Someone here must have snakes and rats living together, advice? Thanks.
