well i have a little sister and i trust my snake not to bite. just make sure she is gentle with the snake and try to get the point around that the snake will bite if not treated right. if possibe with 1 year old. lol. my little sister doesnt mess with her cuz i said that she bites. and i will sometimes let her touch the snake and shes ok with it. just be careful. i say try to introduce them asap. and get them used to eachother. but its your choice.![]()
