question time

i have my bp's in my closet and my pitt has her own couch which is not that far from my bed. Do u think the ball pythons will get freaked out by her smell and bite when i have them out or thats only with rats mice etc.

By pitt you mean pitt bull right?

We have two dogs and they are always running by the snakes and the snakes don't care or really notice at all. Not that I have noticed. I have noticed no difference in their temperament when around the dogs.

Having the dog nearby shouldn't make them more likely to bite. My boa never cared about the dog. No chance of them mistaking your for food.

Here is a video that tried to answer the same question.

Nice Pit!!! I have my three dogs around my snake enclosures all the time. the dogs don't pay attention to them and vice versa.

As far as I've noticed, snakes really don't mind a dog around them. I have two dogs at home, and they are constantly around my snakes when I handle them. My snakes will even try to smell them. The dog will not effect the snakes in anyway to cause them to show aggressive behavior or even bite.

My snakes don't care about dogs the slightest bit, been 10 years with one of them, no problems ever besides the first time the dog was introduced to a snake. My corn tagged her nose once and she leaves em all alone now. We've actually trained a few dogs with my corn snake...he's quite the teacher.
