lol, Ive had my bp for around 2 weeks...after the first week of letting it adjust to its new enviro we decided it was time for my Boxer to meet the new addition to the family(my dog loves our 6 hermit crabs).She was very gentle, smelling the bp from head to tail....the bp does not like the dog at all...I think its the shock of the dogs cold nose....the snake recoils everytime it senses the dog is near...so we keep the dog far away so as not to stress.
