How do your BPs react to dogs/dog scent?

My snakes could care less about dog or cat smell.

One time I did an experiment and I held one of my mom's newborn puppies, then held Dovah immedietly afterwards without washing my hands. I did it because my dad had convinced himself that if a snake smelled a baby animal no matter what it was, the snake would eat it.

I proved him wrong, Dovah didn't give a poo that I smelled like a baby dog.

I let my golden sniff my snakes all the time and none of them are bothered by it at all(except the whole "something's touching me")


Rodents and bunnies are the only thing that set my snakes off.

My dogs are all mildly interested in the snakes, interested in the trash can that we use for soiled bedding/paper, and extremely interested in the live feeders on feeding day.

The only time the snakes show interest in the dogs is when the dogs are being super active/stupid and getting too close to their space.

Thanks for the post.

I'm about to get my first BP, and have two cats and two dogs, so I find the topic interesting.

My cat is entirely too inquisitive of my boa when I let her out. I'm almost positive she's going to get wrapped up one of these days

My dogs are mildly interested in the snakes moving around but to be honest the snakes seem to be completely unaware of the dogs' existence, inside of their enclosures or out. They just don't care.

My BP`s generally do not react at all to my dog. And, my dog doesn`t have any interest in my snakes. I haven't tested that with my little Lesser girl as she is a big scaredy-cat and tends to strike a lot at even televisions when I walk past with her. But, the rest could care less that the dog is there. Possibly partly due to him having no interest in them and his size being too large to be food but, plenty large enough to be a threat so, the lack of shiffing etc, seems to have most of the snakes at the point of ignoring the dog as a potential hazard.
