Carnivorous plants in with my ball

Here's a random question for you guys. Has anyone ever kept a venus flytrap [or any other kind of Carnivorous plant] in with their ball pythons? Would it be safe, assuming I could find a way to secure the plant. I'm thinking strong velcro. A snakes habitat would be the perfect environment for a venus flytrap to thrive in; I just want to make sure the snake would be okay with it. Opinions? Please and thank you. :sweeet:

no harm to the snake. Lots of harm to the plant, it will get trampled in a second.

Well if it won't hurt my snake, I'm definitely going to at least give it a try.

I know it probably wont happen, but, what if the snake decides to coil up right next to the plant and his tail gets in it. The snake doesn't notice, and it closes on the snake. Over night it could deteriorate the scales, or harm the snake. I don't know, just a thought. Anything is possible. IMO I wouldn't take the risk.

Thats why I asked if anyone had tried it. That thought did occur to me, but then again the chances of the snakes tail being "caught" by the trap and held in long enough for it to do anything is like one in a million. Seriously. I'm pretty sure the snake would notice something clamping down on it's tail. =p

Ok, so chances are one in a million. Is it worth it to you? Not worth it to me. Why put something in there if there is even the SLIGHTEST possibility of it being harmful?

Wow. This is not the kind of reaction I was expecting from this place. LOL. Thanks for your responses though. [=
