I would get a pet rat, but I don't think my pet snake would let it live very long.

Ladies, what are your thoughts on pet snakes? If it's in a cage and you never have to see it or even know it's there, is it really so bad?

If met a man with a pet snake and you will be able to see the trail
of dust as I run off.
yuck
I wouldnt sleep in a house with a snake. I guess I have standards.

thank goodness nobody I would be interested in would have pet snakes or rats.
It just wouldnt happen

Excuse me? You guess you have standards? Snakes aren't dirty animals, in fact they carry far less germs and make far less poop than any of those cute little puppies I keep seein' pics of around here.

I'm think I'm OK with snakes but now that you mention it, sleeping over with a python in the house might be a bit disturbing.

Pass on the domesticated sewer rats. That'd be like having a lice farm or something. Or a roach aquarium.

Ooooo .. no ant farms either!! I have an irrational fear that they'll get out. Just looking at them makes my skin crawl.

So quit you're bashing ,grow up , & understand people are different & so maybe will have different pets. Until you've never had a pet rat you won't understand what im talking about anyway .


I used to keep pet rats too, so I do know what you're talking about. I never understood why people who have no problem with hamsters, as nasty as they are, are so repulsed by rats, which are smarter, friendlier, and more social.

Not saying there's any truth in this (I like all animals, 'cept roaches) but people generally associate rats with disease. When was the last time you saw a newpaper article about giant NYC sewer hampsters?

If non-domestic hamsters lived in sewers, it would be worse. Hamsters are nasty, anti-social, unfriendly little rodents.

That's because people don't look down upon hamsters. They are kept as pets , & not shunned upon. So they don't end up in the sewers in the first place.

Gerbils are much cooler.

I'm missing a piece of meat about the width of an inkpen off the tip of my right bird finger because a hampster bit and wouldn't let go, and I literally had to tear the flesh off my hand to get him away from me (no sh!t). I don't know if the little rat **stard spit it out or ate the piece of finger. To this day I still have no feeling in that spot.

Yes. Simply ... there should be no pets who look at you and have cartoon roast turkey bubbles over their heads.

Im not even bother replying to this thread anymore. Nothing can be done about ignorance as far as I can see.

And they're smart! Smarter than some people I know of.

One of my rats, Syd, figured out how to open the cage door and taught Nancy and the babies how to do it.

I agree with the original post. I think that people that have rats and snakes as pets have something wrong with them. I don't know which of the two is more disgusting.

Fran you sure have some interesting tales...

cats lady, rat man..who cares lol..he likes rats..200 hundred huh? u counted them or did he tell you that's how many he had..I would think that many rats in one place would pose a health risk and someone would of reported him, considering he is catching untamed rats...

I used to have pet rats too. Great animals, rats! They don't bite like hamsters do (evil critters, hamsters) and make wonderful companions! I don't have any right now but was really tempted to buy a hairless rat I saw at the petstore the other day.

Awww Frangle.. have I dissappointed you? I had some awsome rats. Darth Claw (solid brown) was my favorite, then there was Yoda (hairless Dumbo rat), and Darth Fang (black hooded). I had a couple that I caught wild (one pulled off a sticky trap. couldn't stand letting him die like that, the other got into my parents place during a storm and I was called over to "rescue" it from the cats) but they weren't quite as friendly.
