    I think it's safe as long as he/she doesnt have mites, or any sort of infection.

    People can't catch diseases from balls, and vice versa.

    I let mine roam on the bed all the time.

    While viruses aren't passed from BPs to people, they can still transfer bacteria and parasites. If your husbandry practices are good and your snake is healthy it shouldn't be a problem. Probably shouldn't let it on your pillow though.
