I think everyone's reading too much into the black/white of my post and not understanding my intent. Not once did I say that it was fine for the two to interact together without the possibility of harm - I believe quite the opposite. I quoted the portion about a BP choking out a family pet and said that this is what usually gets this forum up in arms over irrational fears about our "monster snakes".

I apologize for for initially harsh response, but it doesn't change my feelings that the "choking out" comment was over the top. It's not like the OP intends to put the two in a box and walk away (I hope).

Best regards, everyone.
