Snakes thrive best in environments with live prey!

[guffawsungraciously]

...

[oh, right...]

Oh, they are for the boy, then. I suppose the fact that they are intended to be killed and eaten mitigates it somewhat, but at the same time, must they be permitted to wander wherever they like?

[knowlogram]

Well sure! It wouldn't be much of a challenge otherwise. That's not a hunt, that's just turning a petting zoo into a death trap.

[guffawsungraciously]

...

Did you at least ensure they were free of disease.

[knowlogram]

Of course! We don't want any of you getting sick.

[guffawsungraciously]

Ah, good. I presume it would interfere with your creators’ results if we all simply died of the plague.

[knowlogram]

Yeah, it'd make it a lot harder to get behavioral data from most of you.

[guffawsungraciously]

Quite.

...

I cannot request cats as additional pest control, though, I am sure.

[knowlogram]

It'd be a little counterproductive. And technically Zabimaru is already on the job. Though if it helps, I CAN promise that the rats won't get into anything that would put your health at risk or be particularly objectionable.

[guffawsungraciously]

I am still deeply displeased, but I suppose it is good to know the things will not be scurrying into my room.

[knowlogram]

I'll have a word with them, your room is to be considered off-limits, got it.

[guffawsungraciously]

...

Why would anyone’s rooms be permissible in the first place?!
