For the record and just like I said, I DON'T support or recommend letting a python out for the night either. For the simple fact that if she climbed up in bed with me and I accidently rolled on her while I was asleep. Like I also said, the ONLY reason why I let her crash in my bedroom was to give more space and the temps were just right. Therefore, I thought I was doing her a favor that backfired on me big time. I still don't believe I did anything wrong and I think she was at fault, big time. Obviously, the door was shut and the puppy was out in the kitchen, neither of them could get to each other. Also, my bedroom is safe for a python that is 6ft+ and can't get into any trouble or be lost. I designed my bedroom with that in mind. My bedroom is where I let the python out at night to cruise around for exercise. I also take her outside in the grass when the weather conditions are OK, but that is only a few months throughout the year. Needless to say I will never her let her crash in my bedroom again with the new puppy here and I should have her adult enclosure finished in a few months. Although, I would bet my life and can guarantee that she would have never bit me if it wasn't for the new canine scent present in the house. Like I also said, my python is very friendly and would describe her best as curious. She would always inspect things that were brought to her with her tongue. The point I'm making is that she would never bite at something without inspecting it first. For example, my hand! She never tried to bite at me or anything else other than a rat before this happened.

I understand that a "new canine" sent is present is in the house, but it's still a canine. That is what is making this difficult for me to understand. She should be very use to the canine sent by now and realize it's not a threat, no matter what canine is in the house. Perhaps, a puppy canine scent is much different that an adult canine scent?

Before I posted this thread, I did bring the puppy into the python room and let them see each other through the glass, but I can't see how this can help. I don't even think the python knows the puppy in there. Is there anyway I can speed up the process, the puppy has already been here for over one month? Also, what do I need to do to make sure that I don't get bit again? I can try my best to keep the puppy scent out of my bedroom and wash up every time before handling the python. Although, would this prolong the situation? At some point when the canine matures she will also hang out in my bedroom, then what?

I went to check on the python before posting this reply and she was OK. I took her partially out of her enclosure and she was smelling the outside of the enclosure when the puppy was. Even though I tell her it's OK, she still seems a little uptight. Last, now that she bit me, will she be more inclined to do so again?
