    I HIGHLY doubt it. They're very docile, and from what I've heard their bites are compared to paper cuts.

    I'm pretty sure someone has died from a ball python, somewhere in the world...You know, choking on a python bone when eating, can be fatal...

    That would have to be an insanely weak individual for a ball python to kill them. Even as far as children and infants go, I am sure it is a possibility somehow, but I just do not see it happening.

    Yeah I've never heard of one...I have heard of other constrictors doing it though. i guess it's possible however.

    Ball pythons are too small to kill a human, except for maybe an infant. I don't see any reason that they would though, because there is no way that they could eat one.

    Doubtful. A ball pythons defense mechanism is curling into A BALL. Note: This is not fatal to a human.
