BPs and other pets?

Our husky tries to eat both our ball pythons and our bearded dragon. But she also tries to eat the bp's mice [the frozen thawed ones and the live ones]. She also has an extremely overactive hunting instinct and tries to hunt anything moving and smaller than her.

When we take the reptiles out we make sure we block her out of the room.

Edit: just read your post about having a husky [shepard mix?] and unless your husky gets extreme amounts of exercise, they can develop very overactive hunting drives. It's apparently a trait of the breed. I'm not saying your husky will, but just a warning, you may really want to watch him/her and how he/she reacts when you take the snake[s] out.

ya hes a husky shepard mix but he goes on frequent walks and bike rides to keep his energy level down. I'm going to slowly get the bp and dog used to each other but never leave them alone. 1 meeting so far (heavily supervised, i held bp while my wife held the dog). they seemed alright. we will see how it progresses.

One of my dogs always runs over when I have my snake out like "What the hell is that!?!?" but if she ever gets to close she gets a tap on the nose. I won't ever let them interact I don't trust my dog. However my other dog would listen if I said "Be Nice" thats because hes the smart one lol.

Today i had Scarlett out side with me visiting the kids from the apartments I live in. We where hanging out with the neighbors in the backyard and the dog took a dump so i had to go pick it up so i put Scarlett on my wife's shoulders and when i can back Scarlett decided she liked me better and crawled off of my wife onto the patio table and back one my shoulders. I found it interesting that a BP will show favorites as far as there handler goes. I also introduces er to the neighbors dog. My dog seems to like her now. he came up and started licking her. Scarlett could really care less about any other animal that won't fit in her mouth.

However, as long as you don't put them together I see no problem.

LOL same here, my cat is always lurking a few steps behind me when i have my snakes out

my female is the cat who is skiddish around scarlett.

Haha, seems you have the cat/dog advice covered. Just thought I'd chime in with the thought of having parrots and reptiles in close proximity for anyone it applies to. BPs are susceptible to respiratory infections (and reptiles in general, if I'm not mistaken) when it comes to dust and hygiene and such. Most parrots give off dust to help with feathers, so if you happen to have them close together it could be a potential problem. I don't really have any experience, but I hope it helps for anyone who might need to know

good info although i do not own a bird but if a do get one i will remember to separate them.
