I purchased my ball python when he was 2weeks from his first birthday and consequently my daughters birthday is 2days before his. Anyway I feel uncomfortable having my daughter around the python because I see him eyeing her up sometimes when shes around.

There is no doubt that my daughter isnt ready to be around the snake alone, she is just to rough and doesn't understand how to be gentle yet lol, but is it safe for the snake (while being held) to be around my daughter? Or when is a good time to introduce him to her?
