    She said there's not much to do with snakes.

    There isn't, but that's like wondering why people keep fish and flowers. It's just because we love them and their beauty. And with ball pythons, we can still at least take them out to handle.

    Mainly her cockatiel.

    No problems there. If you get a male, they're much too small to eat a cockatiel. And second, ball pythons tend to fixate on a prey item. If they eat mice, sometimes they won't even eat rats. The cockatiel won't be seen as food.

    But obviously, don't stick them in each other's faces to test them out. LOL

    I know many people even keep pet rats in the same room as their snakes. The snakes get used to the scent within a day or two and they just chill. When I kept feeder rats, I kept them within 3 feet from my ball python rack. The ball pythons don't stay in feeding mode, and the rats don't care that the snakes are there.

    BP's do sound perfect for you! Do proper research and go for what you want!
