lol I know exactly how it is. Its weird.. you go from owning dogs and stuff and always like " UGH.. Poop dutie...' But when I got my Pythons it was more like "YAY!!! My babies are healthy!!!" I still have issues with feeding rat pups to my little female though.. She just switched ( In one shot ^_^ so proud) to mice pups from hopper mice and I'm sure its because I rubbed it in mouse litter. Rat pups are SO CUTE!!! but they are food.. oh well you can't win them all. Good luck with your snake! Any pics of it?
