aight for all yall saying put my dog in another room or outside..i live in a 2 bedroom apt. and my roommate wont take my dog out cuz shes strong as on oxe and will drag him round the neghborhood...i keep em seperated as much as possible...but did i mention shes strong as an oxe...and if shes in a room alone while im home...not good she goes crazy...so best i can do is hold her back while still keeping a close eye on my snakes and a free hand to hold my...whatever i happen to be holding at the moment to make sure the rat dont eat the snake..and as far as dogs and snakes getting along..my dog..shes a one year old pitbull/airedale mix and in my honest opinion thats the best mix of dog ever, or maybe its just her...and for the first couple days it was sniff sniff all over the snake...cuz i tried to keep them seperated..one time i just let her sniff the snakes tail, and since then she hasnt given them the time of day...
