Frankly, while no friend of snakes I TOTALLY hate rats, so if there was some way of setting up mutually assured destruction, I would be completely down with that.



Good idea! Let's feed the rats healthy amounts of poison (arsenic, Prussic acid). Then, after they have died (we don't want to hurt the snake!), we feed them to the snakes. The residue in the rats will be enough to kill a snake!
