you'll just have to dive in and check and see if the waters warm!
Ditto that.
If it were me, I'd ask her straight up, "do you have a problem with me feeding rats to my snake? Not YOUR rats of course, but rats in general." and see what she says. Get her brain cued on the idea now before your snake starts feeding on rats and *if* she's opposed to it, she'll either get over it...or she won't.
Either way, IMO, it's better to find out sooner rather than later and for goodness sake DON"T drop the bomb on her suddenly one day when you pull out a rat and toss it into your snake....bad idea, very bad idea. I know a lot of people who have done that. They don't say a word about then out of the blue, in walks the other half and sees this cute little bunny (or whatever) getting clobbered by this snake and they freak out, get mad and that relationship goes right out the window.
