( Cant think of a good title for this) But, I want to try rats again.

Twice I have failed at it but I think it was because of the stores I got the rats at. My mice are doing great but shortly I am upping my collection to around 11 and I do not want to have wait as long as it takes mice to get to size as the snakes will need* takes breath*, so, rats are going to be a better choice. My problem is size though, im not sure what I will do with retired breeders, and space is limited until I can get a rat rack up and running. Until then 50g totes will be their homes. Will that be good enough? I have the room for about 5 of the totes. Thats it for now, im sure that i'll have a few questions later! Thank you
