Compromise is the basis of every relationship. If you screwup the relationship before it begins kiss your enjoyment good bye!

Buy a mini fridge and keep the frozen rats in your room. Don't force yourself onto them, I'd be really upset if some one put stuff like that in my freezer and I wasn't a fan of snakes.

I think you should apologize to them for overstepping and try and rectify the situation.

Try and have things be fair, vote 2/3, etc.
Apologize, sure... not exactly what I'm thinking at the moment. Honestly, it's a harmless snake.
I've been trying to compromise, but they're being very "NO" to everything - and with no reasoning behind it. that's what drives me crazy
