You are right, but whatever it's eating might. I know I always left the house with my pet rat, Luli, when my ex would feed his snake. I didn't want her to hear the rat cry when it was placed in the tank, which I did hear once and don't ever want to hear again!

I think I'd let him stay if he was a responsible person and would respect your wishes and your dislike for his choice of pets.
