Depending on your snake's temperament and size. Ours in quite docile and we wear it around our necks all the time so i don't really worry about it with our 7 month old. Ours is as big as ball pythons can get at just over 5ft. I wouldn't leave the two alone together just to be safe but ball pythons won't kill what they cannot eat and they cannot eat things bigger than it's widest girth. I don't see ours wanting to hurt her unless she got hold of it. as for size i don't think it has the strength to kill an adult.. and infant i am not sure but am doubtful. I'd be more worried about bites. I've never been bitten but ball pythons don't have fangs they have loads of sharp teeth angled toward the back of their mouth. I can't imagine anyone wanting to leave their infant alone with a snake long enough to give it a chance to strangle (3 minutes minimum)

∙ 13y agoMaybe an infant but it likely wouldn't. Contrary to popular belief Snakes dont kill for the fun of it. They kill to eat and that is it. Ball pythons cannot digest anything bigger around than them. If it is too big they will just throw it up so most wont even bother killing anything too big. Ball pythons cannot grow much more than five feet. they biggest prey item they could eat would be a very large rat and maybe a small rabbit but that is pushing it

∙ 13y agoAnything is possible, but it's not likely. The dog is much more likely to kill the ball python. Ball pythons are typically 4-5' full grown. They cannot eat a dog, much less a goat.

∙ 11y agoMost species of snake are too small but some species are certainly large enough to eat human babies and some of the largest species can even eat adult humans.
