People ask us if we let the dragons wander the house. We can't because we also have cats and the cats would LOVE new toys to play with.

Snakes and other reptiles can be quite fascinating if you get to know them!

They really can't climb flat/straight walls (like some other reps can such as geckos), but they can climb pipes, branches, etc.

They may be of some assistance on the mice, but they are probably limited on how big of a mouse they can catch. Rats would probably be too large for them.

Reading up on them a little, you may want to see if you can get him out of the building as there is a small potential for the lizard biting someone. They aren't poisonous, but their bite can leave a mark.
