The store I got The Boys from sells live snkae food as well as rats for pets, BUT they do tend to try to seperate them as best as possible. The biters and nasty ones that can't be tamed ones do end up in the snake food tank itself. The Boys came from both the pet and snake cages/tanks. All have worked out fantastic for me. I did this because I knew nothing about them when I wanted them, but only knew I wanted a few. Where I live, they kill them on sight as they are terrors to the crops and animals on the farms. I live in farm country and the farmers don't like them. People dump them because they tend to need a bit more time then some animals to get close to and understand, so they toss them away like it seems more and more people do these days with Kritters.

I've seen people toss puppies, kittens and other animals out windows of moving cars, boats and it's a nice sight.
I've also rescued countless animals people would dump on my acrage because they didn't want them anymore. If people treat their animals this way, can you imagine the way they treat their human kids???? *shivers down the spine!*
Keep up the good work with the rescues!!

And Debbie is always a good one to check with about the tumors more then me, and they don't always come back. Some people I checked with on a scan back on alt.pets.rodents did the wait a see method instead of spaying and they only had one tumor to ever remove. *shrugs* Personally I'd spay for the rat's health.

Good luck and keep me informed!
