Some will eat rats when they are bigger, but a lot of them stick to mice. What do you mean by "doesn't like them"? Chances are if it's eating it likes it's food. Mice and rats are VERY nutricious so i do not feed them anything else. You should not house tow snakes together unless they are for sure two females because two males fight and a male and female may breed too early, which will make the female eggbound and she would probably die. Also, separate them while feeding or they will eat each other, not might, will.

Ahh, well, some snakes just don't feel comfortable eating around people. My california kingsnake is one of that kind.I am unsure on building your own enclosure because I have never built my own but I would think MDF to be ok. I suggest asking people on the enclosure forum, most of the people who regularly post there will definitely know.
