hello and welcome to the forum
it will do the snake no harm to have some rat pee on it mate
i would wait 48 to 72 hours before bathing the snake,or at least until the feeding bulge has gone
re bathing
use tepid water like you would a new born baby,if you have a lazer temperature gun,check the body temperature of the snake,then make the bath water the exact same temperature
