Ball python's are not dangerous at all. I've had mine for over 10 years, she's 5.5 Feet long. She is the nicest snake ever. I have never been bitten by her once in 10 years. The only way you get them to bite you is if you disturb them during feeding. Or you be mean to them. But other then that they are the perfect first snake.

You are definitely right. I haven't had mine very long but I know everything there is to know about them. But, they barely ever bite if you're mean to them, only if your hands smell like their food.
