Hello,
This is my first post on this forum, so il give yall a quick intro. My name is John and I have been keeping herps for the past 10 years. Iguanas, chameleons (my favorite species) and frilled dragons has thrived under my care. Lately, time has been a factor for me so I sold all my animals cause I was no longer enjoying taking care of them due to time.
After 2 months, I needed something cold blooded in my life and turned to snakes! Due to thr fact they are not very time consuming compared to insect eaters has i dont have to clean or gutload the food. This brings me to my question..
I was going for a Ball python at first, but once at the reptile store, I made a last second decision and chose a carpet simply due to the fact they are more active snakes and display themselves a little more. I was informed that they are good starter snake.
Now i see these videos on youtube, they seem to get very large! Like up to 7 feet, there is a video of one eating a possum...
If for some reason or another if conditions where right (like i locked myself out the house and it escaped or what ever) could this snake (fully grown) kill one of my GFs cats? Or in anyway harm a small child? I see conflicting answers when I google this.
I know I would never let this happen, im very carefull with my animals. But the what if factor is bugging me. he (or she) tiny baby right now and I like the animal, he does not bite and ate 2 pinkys 3 hours into its new home
Also, if someone could direct me to a carpet only website or book i would be very happy.
Thanks for reading!
John
