Carpets and Cats

[Gio]

You should be fine with a jungle or IJ. I've seen a couple of videos of coastals eating cats but they were some monster coastals. My snakes don't pay much attention to my cat but they almost never interact together. If you're even slightly interested in getting a carpet I strongly encourage you to do so. They're really fun to keep.

Zig is pretty spot on here.

Probably, at least the first 3 years your cat is more of a threat to your snake.

A good keeper rarely has escapes. You will be fine and so will the other animals.

An IJ would need to be HUGE to think of a cat as prey. My coastal mutt is about 6.5 feet long and a cat with claws would destroy her at this stage.

As Zig stated, its the larger, older snakes that could possibly be a threat.

I think a lottery win or a lightning strike is about the same odds as your cat being constricted by a snake like an IJ.

I doubt you'd leave the cage open anyhow.
