Rats are more nutricious, they also have a much more solid bone structure so the snake can get much more calcium. I think generally rats are better but you have to be carefull how often you feed them as they also have a higher fat content so if fed to often your corn can quickly become obese. This is why people often relate rats as being bad for corns. But i think if fed on the right routine they are perfectly fine.

I have never fed rats to my corns so can't advise you how often to feed if you do but i think mike does so he may be able to help you.
