You have to careful with Pythons and rats.
Have a friend who found a python, 3 footer, a few years back. He brought home and put in large tank. It was about 6ft last I saw it.
He left town for work for about a week and left his son to care for the snake. He put a rat in the tank to feed the snake, but the snake was not hungry and went to sleep. The rat then ate the snake. Well ate enough to kill the snake. Turns out snakes don't have much feeling and did not realize he was being eaten. Pissed off my friend. True story. He is looking for another snake and son.

I prefer the "Ball Python" approach. As long as you don't get bit handling the snake, he's happy for the free meal. It's too bad you can't find a snake as intelligent as a dog. Then you could give him a nest near the GE MastrII power supply or something. -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR < [EMAIL PROTECTED] us <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > But remember, with no superpowers comes no responsibility. --rly <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
