You're willing to let your kid be around a ball python, but not a blood python. Based around ignorance of species and poor knowledge of animals. I am not indirectly calling you a bad father. I'm DIRECTLY calling you a bad father. A good father if he was concerned about his child, would realize that both snakes are extremely similar, and BOTH could harm his kid. The likelyhood of a ball python escaping and a blood escaping and biting his kid is probably the exact same. It has nothing to do with your kids safety in that regard. Don't kid yourself.
