Pythons and Canines / Why did my python bite me?!?

[Eavlynn]

Introducing them doesn't seem like something I would consider a necessity. There are 4 rescue cats in my household, and they aren't allowed near our snakes when they are our of their enclosures. Someone moves too fast, the other gets spooked and reacts defensively, and then you could have an injured snake, puppy or both.

Over time the scent will stop being new, and with time and patience, your python should stop being so edgy.

As for not getting bit again, if your snake is startled, or just in a mood and wants to nip, you can't really do much to stop them. It doesn't sound like normal behavior for your little gal, so I wouldn't sweat it too much. Just use caution until she seems as though she's adjusted to the recent changes. It may be a canine scent, but it's still new, and from what I've seen with my crew, they aren't very fond of change.
