This. Any time my cats have gotten near me while I'm holding my snakes, the snakes rear their heads back as if startled. That was the only sign I needed years ago. Plus I don't want my snake confusing small furry creatures with food in the event of an escape. Not sure if it's possible to condition them that way, but I figure why risk it?
