    I have heard of ball pythons getting out but never about one of them hurting a cat or dog. I would be more concerned that a cat or dog would severely injure the snake.

    The only thing your 4 foot ball python can harm in your house would be, if there is any, mice/rats in the house. Any even then it would prob be to scared to to anything.

    Unless your pet dog is a mini teacup chihuahua, it has nothing to fear from a ball python. Same thing unless your cat is listed in Ripley's as the world's smallest cat.

    You ball on the other hand, has A LOT to fear from your cat and or dog, they can and will severely injure or even kill a ball with little trouble.

    If my ball ever gets out she is in DEEP trouble, we have 3 cats and the oldest male is a pro mouser......could cats and snakes ever "get along" and realize that they are not enemies? This goes more for the cat then the snake of course.
