Forgive me but I personally feel that you are tempting fate on this one. Cats are hunters and have even been known (and it's video) to kill snakes as little prey items. I own a cat and own several pythons. My cat is NOT allowed in the reptile room. 1) She is way to curious about the snakes and even has tried to catch them through the glass & 2) I have some large python and one female ball that is almost five foot. She would have not problem killing the cat. For my cat's and python's safety she is not allowed in the room.
Just an FYI the one time my cat got into the room (my fault totally) I had to save her furry little but and take the hit from the snake which was a large female ball python. There were no rodents present I was merely changing her water bowl.

These are children that more often then not will not play nice. If you are going to allow them to interact in any form I'd make sure that you are very close by. Like in short reaching distance close.

Try and think of it this way (this is how I think of it): How are you going to feel and /or explain what happen to your cat, snake, or both if an incident occurs? If you have kids ........ how would you explain it to them?

Just my .2



P.S. My kitty is strictly an indoor cat!
