I housed my feeders in the same room as my snakes for a while. The snakes seemed more interested in the prey scent for about a week and a half or so (roaming their cages constantly, tongues flicking constantly tasting the air, etc.). It made zero difference in their feeding response; some still refused on occasion and the garbage disposals lived up to their names, lol! I don't keep them together anymore just because my breeders outgrew the room, so they're now housed in a separate location but for the six months or so that I did house both together, it didn't affect them in the least that I could see.
