    The thing to keep in mind is that while neither of your pets wants to hurt the other, what I could personally envision happening is that your BP could sense the
    dog's warmth (remember those heat sensing pits?) & end up sinking his teeth into your sweet dog's nose. It just wouldn't be pretty. (I have 2 older dogs and lots
    of snakes too.)

    Yep. I probably didn't explain it great before. My dog being around means he's behind a baby gate (being watched over by someone else) that keeps him from getting close while I'm handling her (across the house). Otherwise the noodle is in her tank out of his reach. When I say they can't reach each other and they get along great, I mean it's very impossible for them to come in contact and they ignore each other despite sometimes being able to see one another. I had rats before and it's a very similar protocol. I know better than to take risks and love them both a lot.

    Sorry, but I'd rather make sure & not assume what you know, than to have a new member experience a pet-disaster that I might have prevented.

    I totally understand. It's nice to know that people here are trying to keep my animal friends safe.

    We have something in common...like you, I had pet rats before I ever got into snakes. And at first, I had real doubts about whether pet snakes were
    for me, but a life of loving all kinds of animals won out. I "accidentally" got hooked on snakes (the ultimate "under-dogs") before I knew what hit me.

    It's definitely a bit odd having a pet that I feed rats to now, despite having rats before and being very attached to them. I think the biggest thing for me is that snakes live to be so much older than most pets and I just couldn't handle the short life span my furry little rat buddies had.
