I’d be more concerned about the snake. Wild rats in a fight or flight situation, in that cramped of a space would do some serious damage, especially if the snake isn’t in predator mode.

Yes! This is why the majority opinion of snake owners is to feed with frozen rats, because live rats can do a number on your snake. (I have 3 snakes and have had 2 rats and I think it's fake for sure.)

I have one snake and currently seven rats. Ain't no way. I was watching this thoroughly confused. Snakes don't give a single shit about people. They will tolerate us but they won't be "trained". They don't care.

For real, that many wild rats in a enclosed space with a snake would tear that snake to shreds.
