    Ball Python + Guinea Pigs

    Humor me here, what harm would a full grown ball python inflict on a guinea pig?

    Depending on the size of the guinea pig, an adult bp is more than capable of killing and eating a juvi guinea pig...

    Are you talking as if you have one of each that's a pet and are worried, or as if feeding your bp guinea pigs?

    I work with guinea pigs. A full grown Ball Python could easily take down and eat a full grown guinea pig.

    Do you keep snakes and guinea pigs at home? What precautions do you have? Are there any things you do to a guinea pig's cage when a snake is loose?

    Not letting your snakes get loose would definetly be in the guinea pigs best interest...

    Hahaha. I have a good track record with not letting anything get loose, but things happen and you have to be prepared anyway.

    No, I don't own any guinea pigs. I work at PetSmart so I know how big they get. And I keep Ball Pythons.
