So I have an adult corn snake, a 9 month old BP, and two kittens, about 8 and 11 months. I have been reluctant to handle my snakes since I got these kittens. One kitten is shy enough that I don't think she would even be curious, but the boy is quite curious, anytime I interact with the cages.

I was curious if any of you have been in this situation and how you handled it.

Obviously the safest and easiest of handling solutions would be to lock the boy in another room when I'm handing the snake. Is there any scenario where they could become uninterested in each other? The kitten may become less interested as he matures, but for now I am not sure if there are better ways to handle the situation.

I had the BP with me while in my la-z-boy once and Ramza (male kitten) was all up in our business, atop the chair, on the chairside table, and I did my best to keep him away, but I'm sure it was stressful for Pit (BP).
