Ball Pythons can absolutely kill things much larger than a large rat. Cat and even dog sized. A 5' adult bp is no corn snake.
There have been no deaths caused by Ball Pythons. Deaths by constrictors only occur when the animal is not taken care of properly and it is looking for food. They have to look at you as a possible food source. A ball python knows that you would be much too large to try to eat. So they wouldn't try. One should never leave a child un supervised around any animals. Accidents can and do happen. To either the child or the pet.
