TOKYO (Jan. 19) - Gohan and Aochan make strange bedfellows: one's a 3.5-inch dwarf hamster; the other is a four-foot rat snake. Zookeepers at Tokyo's Mutsugoro Okoku zoo presented the hamster - whose name means "meal" in Japanese - to Aochan as a tasty morsel in October, after the snake refused to eat frozen mice. 

This is quite a picture of the saying," keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

Do you really think they are getting along? And if they are, then what is our problem?

Although we can not be naive to the fact the snake cannot really be trusted, I mean he is a snake after all and my guess is he is simply lulling the mouse into a false sense of security.

hmmm...reminds me of a situation in my HomeTown.
