but my girlfriend has just introduced a warm blooded pet to the house. His name is Simeon, and he is a very cute little grey tiger stripe kitten. Last night I was handling my ball python Delphi (24"). Simeon came over and sat on my lap, while Delphi sat in the collar of my flannel shirt. That is Delphi's favorite place. Delphi seldom wants to go back in her tank after an evening of sitting in the collar of my flannel.

Once in a while Simeon would get up and smell Delphi's tail. A few times he playfully batted at it. At one point Delphi tongue flicked Simeon a few times. That was the extent of the interaction.

Tonight is feeding night for the snakes, so I can't handle any of my cold blooded pets. As I type this Simeon is curled up in my lap. My Girlfriend is jealous since she really was the one who wanted a cat. Any way, I would like to have the cute little guy hang out with me while I am enjoying my smaller snakes. I am obviously not going to introduce Simeon to my BCI, since my BCI is large enough to eat Simeon, but my BP and BRB are both smaller (less than three feet). Obviously all interactions will have to be carefully monitored, but I am wondering, does any one have any experience with constrictors and cats? Do any of you let your animals interact? Has anyone ever had a bad experience?
