Will my ball python sense my African grey parrot and bite me

Maybe it depends on wether on not the snake has tasted the blood ( eaten) chicks or quails or whatever previously ??

Some ball pythons do eat birds. But lots of ball pythons also get fixated on particular prey items and aren't interested in others.

Either way, the snake will most likely be accustomed to the general smells of the space it lives in. It will learn pretty quickly that there might be occasional whiffs of parrot, but that doesn't mean food - basically, the snake isn't going to spend its entire life in the food mood any more than you are able to stay constantly hyped up on adrenaline for years on end. It'll be fine.

I have Chinese button quail and if I touch them or go anywhere near them before handling my BP she goes ballistic and will throw her entire self at me and will actually try to eat me- constricting, swallowing, the whole deal. Even if I wash my hands she smells them and goes nuts. Never eaten or even been offered a bird in her life and she refuses to eat mice even, only eats rats. But she goes absolutely nuts when she smells the birds.

Would a Ball python get Triggered if it smelt my African grey parrot in the same room. i want a Ball python and i have a african grey parrot but i am afraid that the Ball python will smell my parrot and go into feeding mode and bite because of it.

You made the same thread? https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...ot-and-bite-me

While I understand that you are new this is the second time that you duplicate one of your threads, again there is no need to duplicate threads and therefore in an effort to keep this forum clutter free this thread was merged as well.
