Are you really being serious?!
A ferret will kill your snake. No doubt about it.
I had a woman post on a ferret forum asking about the safety of her foster ferrets if she placed them in a home with ball pythons. She wanted someone to justify her belief that the potential adopter was unsuitable because of the potential danger to the ferrets. I basically laughed at her and said that the balls would be the ones in danger. Not the other way around.
Also, $100-150 food bill for one meal sounds expensive.....
This ferret belongs to a member of my ferret group. She goes hunting with hers.
