We have a chinchilla in the same room as our burmese python and it hasn't seemed to affected him, as long as the snake is well fed than i wouldn't see it being a problem. We also have a rat in the reptile room with all the other snakes and i have never noticed them being more aggresive or acting any differently. In my old house i actually had a bunny, rats, doves, and other small animals in my reptile room and it hasnt proved to be problematic. I do have a ferret but i have never had it in the same room as my reptiles but it wasn't for any other reason than "space issues". Also, now that i think of it, we even had a male sugar glider in the same room as the burm, btw, male sugar gliders mark EVERYTHING so they have a VERY pungeant smell to them and he didnt even seem to notice that. There have actually been times i have had to chase my cat off of the top of the burms tank(stupid cat) and after a few minutes of smelling the cat the snake just retreated to curling back up and ignoring him.
