on pet rats and pet snakes...

Will having my rats in the vicinity agitate a ball python? Will they be agressive?
Just wondering because I have pet rats..Should I keep them in separate rooms?

Thanks! :oops:

Can't speak for rats, but I have mice and ASFs in the same room as my snake.

Boo doesn't act any different :/

I don't have rats but I do have three indoor rabbits in the snake room and they don't affect the snakes at all.

I have all my rats (3:12) less than 2 feet away from my snake rack. The snakes were a bit more active than usual the first few days the rats were introduced, but everything settled down afterwards.

The snakes act normal and didn't become aggressive. They know the difference from a hand and food even though they smell rats all time.

The rats don't have too much fear of the snakes, I have held both at the same time many times and the rats are either curious about the snake and then ignore it, or ignore it altogether.
