Snakes Vs. Cats/Dogs

[Snakeman]

my dad often "talks" to my chihuhua dog and says "would a python/boa be able to eat you?"(he saw that on "snakes on a plane"). of course i always roll my eyes when he says this but then it got me thinking, when my BP/blood get to their adult size,would they be able to eat/constrict my cat/dog if they got the chance?

Would they be able to? Sure, but would they try it...unlikely. As we've beat to death before, ball pythons are imprint feeders and I would think it be unlikely that a ball python would perceive a cat or dog as food. You never know, though.

yeah i guess,what about much larger snakes like retics,rtb, or other 10+ ft snakes?

i honestly don't see why not. snakes are predators. if they see a potential meal, then they may make a meal out of it.

I've heard of stories of cats and dogs come up missing. but..."stories"..ya know?

i think it is smulkin's african rock python that eyes smynx's malteses whenever she is out and about... but then she's an af rock--whaddaya expect?

Depending on size of said pet and how long it had been since they ate it is a small possibility.
I know I keep the kittens away from the snakes when I'm cleaning tubs, especially my larger bloods and BCs.
Just prefer to be safe rather then sorry.

my dog is a chihuahua(small obviously) and my cat is a DSH calico(as people have told me).

i don't know if your snake would do that, but either way, keep all of your pets seperate and safe.
