Or if you are just going buy size get something a little bigger or move to feeding a litle more often. My Big girl 1300G is in the same room as the daughters pet rats and we have had no problems. She was the only agressive snake like I said earlier and well she would strike at anything in her cage. Moved her to small rats 1 every 7 days and now she is a real sweetheart loves to come out and hang with us watching TV as much as a snake can. The only other advice I would give is does he feel secure 2 tight fitting hides and 3 sides of the enclosure blacked out? I really hope this helps I am pretty sure its not rats being in the room with him
Thanks for the post! We'll black out three sides of his tank and we upgraded him to a larger food item. I'll see if his behavior mellows out. It may just be that he's hungry. His previous owner had no other pets, so she may have been able to get away with a smaller prey item.

Thanks again!
