Hm... I'm pretty sure it is up to the OP if he wants to "risk" it with his cat. Pretty sure a cat would not do any damage to a snake he is holding. I'm sorry, but I just don't see why anyone should get bent out of shape just because the OP tried to have a little fun with some pictures, his bp, and his apparently vicious cat
Some people get too opinionated and need to stop judging so much. It's not like anyone here is innocent of doing things that could have resulted badly, but most likely would not have. Pretty sure the OP knows that there is a small risk that his cat might savagely go after his snakeAnd I'm pretty sure those commenting against him doing it have done plenty of things comparable.
I'm not taking sides here, I just think it is completely unnecessary to point out the tiny flaws here when no one here is perfect themselves.
