So the banana didn't take his mouse overnight. I removed the mouse this morning. Likely stressed. I was hoping that since his enclosure hadn't changed he would be fine with the move but I'm going to leave him alone for the next couple days and try to feed him again next time.
I had the albino out in the yard yesterday evening. The neighbors kids came over and asked if they could hold it. At what point can I hand him off to someone not familiar with snakes and be fairly comfortable that he won't bite? My son keeps asking as well but I'm not willing to risk it yet. He loves snakes currently. Being bit would be pretty traumatic at his age (4).
Edit: so my wife was mortified to come home from work to two ball pythons in the living room. Interestingly she said yesterday that she was eager to hold one once we were confident they wouldn't bite. Pretty exciting for me. I'm trying my best to convince her to not get a tortoise..
