[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 148889, member: 1963"] I live in N. Central WI and was quite happy the other day when it nearly hit seventy to find that Freda, my household rat snake had survived a rotten winter hibernating under my trailer (I have heating tapes on the water pipes and she hibernates in a plastic bucket full of leaves and stuff) and was out basking on my blacktop driveway. Every year someone comes by to ask if I want them to "deal with that snake" and I have to tell them no, I LIKE her and she's part of the native wildlife up here. I just feel sorry for her because it's going to turn cold for several days this week and she'll have to crawl back in and snooze some more. I like ratties, too, but am very allergic to them and mice. husband was literally phobic about rats, having been taken to see "Ben" at too early an age to cope with the movie, so was never able to have them. Currently I have a German Shepherd dog who would lick a pet rat to death and a recovering feral cat who would eat a rat in a heartbeat, so pet rats would not work at all. [/QUOTE]
