    i don't think bps ignore rats as a basic rule.

    My Balls ignore the cats, though my Dumeril gets stressed if they are around. I put my dog in her playpen when the snakes are out, because honestly? My dog is the same basic shape and size of most large rats...Chihuahua + Constrictor = NO FUN FOR ANYBODY, or at least that's my theory. ;)

    My Milk Snake just hates every carbon based life form on the planet, me included. ;)

    Now, that being said, my cats LOVE my snakes. They like to sneak in and sleep next to their tubs for warmth. I do what I can to keep the snakes from seeing them though, since while most don't seem to care, I don't want 'em to feel stressed.

    When I first got my BP (his cage is in my room), I also had one of my leopard geckos in my room as well. There cages were directly across from each other and anytime I would take Stanley (BP) out of his cage, my leopard would stand there looking at us, wagging her tail (like they do when they eat) and her face almost looked a little bit puffy. I had to move her out of the room because I didn't want her to stress out over it. Haha.

    My cat and snakes get along and he hates all other animals. I love how they interact, he also loves to sleep by them!!
    He even purs if they're around him. :rofl:

    My BP sits on my pit bull's back. The dog looks at him and sniffs him, but after that neither of them care very much.

    But I put him on the screen of my rat snake's tank, and the rat did his rattler impression. Python didn't pay him any mind, considering the rat is less than a quarter of his weight XD

    My cat watches Monte a little too close for my liking so I have to keep a close eye on her (she weighs about 20lbs) and my dog loves to lick Monte every chance that she gets. With that being said I would never leave any of them alone together unsupervised being as I know the snake would end up losing end of any encounter with either one. I am so bad that I have to check Monte's enclosure before I leave the house if I have had him out or been in his cage at all that day.

    Well, I never had a prob, except the one time I kept putting my BP in my hamster's cage so they could play together.....except I kept having to get new hamsters cuz they always seemed to disappear for some reason.....I mean, gosh, Sasha is the absolute most friendly BP in the whole wide world....
