Well, I have my lionhead bunny in my snake room. Since my snakes (two ball pythons and a dumeril's boa) don't eat rabbits for their usual meals, I don't think they recognize the scent as food. I handle my bunny and then handle my dumeril's boa right after. They don't really give a crap.

In your case though, the only reason a ball python (much too small to eat a rabbit) would strike at a bunny is if the bunny's movements scare it. You really don't have to worry about a ball python thinking a rabbit is food...

I've got a couple big girls that wouldn't have too many problems getting a wild size rabbit down. With balls being as picky as they are most would probably turn up their noses. My big albino girl on the other hand has not figured out that she is a ball python will take anything that is warm when there is the scent of rodent in the air. She is a very enthusiastic eater. If i let her she will put a third of herself outside her tub and wait for food as soon as it is within reach...wham. Wish they all were that cooperative. She without a doubt would take a small rabbit.
