i forgot to wash my hands after handling my python and before handling the rat... she smelled him and stayed hiding from me for awhile! i felt so bad! but she warmed up in time.
i NEVER forget to wash my hands after rats and before snake, though--if i did i would get bit! snakes aren't terribly clear sighted, he would confuse my rat-smelling hand for a real rat

I also have snakes and rats as pets ,
It can be difficult at times . I didn't even realize that the rats would care about the snake smell
