Most of my bps will eat anything I give them, but I only have 4 snakes. I was breeding mice for a while and I think they smell much worse than rats. As for the aggression, I have read that rats are more aggressive but so far they seem the same to me.
One good thing about breeding rats is that the babies are much larger than baby mice, so it can save you the time of raising up mice. My rat babies were as big as full grown mice (~40grams) in about 12-14 days, 60 grams at 20 days, and 125 grams after a month.
Picture at 18 days....
Hope this helps.
