Pythons
Pythons are a family of non-venomous snakes that are native to Africa, Asia and Australia. Pythons are ambush predators that use constriction to kill their prey. Unlike female boas, female pythons lay eggs. Pythons are hunted for their skin, which is used, like leather, to make shoes, handbags and other fashion accessories.

No ball pythons cannot eat ferrets, they would die. It would depend on the size of your python and the size of the ferret. If the sizes are too out of proportion, the ferret will be able to injure the snake. That or the snake will not be able to handle the ferret and will only injure it. You would not want to injure it for nothing. The best thing is to talk to your local herp dealer and see what they recommend an animal of your pets size be fed.

However, if the prey is particularly large, the python may anchor its tail round a tree etc to aid in subduing the potential meal.
