Will the smell of my dog and cat trigger a feeding response?

I have a dog and cat and was wondering if their scent around the house will trigger a feeding response?

I doubt it I have 2 cats and it doesn't seem to affect things with feeding but I'm not an expert though

Thanks! Our new snake seemed more uneasy when we took her out and was very interested in trying to explore the chair where the cat typically sits. She crinked up her neck and seemed as if she was going to strike, so back in the tank she went.

Not really. My two cats and 3 dogs are all over my room floor and when I let Khaa out he doesn't seem to react to them in any way.

*I mean the smell of them. All other pets are locked out when Khaa is out.

Well she's new so just give her time to acclimate it's probably the new environment more than anything else.

It's probably more likely to trigger a fear response (if anything) than a feeding response, since dogs and cats are potential predators.

But no, my snakes don't have any reaction to my dogs scents.

Nah, cats and dogs are much too large for a ball to consider it food and unless a snake has eaten it before it won't associate the scent with food. Bonnie and Clyde are dog trained still working with monty on it.

I keep my snake enclosures in the same room as my Skink enclosure as well as my ferret enclosure with no issues whatsoever.

You're more likely to encounter the snake going on a feeding strike if the cat and dog are able to roam freely near the snake enclosure. Your best bet is to keep the cat and dog away from the snake completely. My cat doesn't go into the snake room and when the snakes are out with me the cat is put in another room.
