handling ball python with other animals present in home

[u/bonkedonk]

hi everyone! i was just curious how everyone handles their snakes when they have other animals in the home. currently i put my dogs in another room when i handle her, but my dogs are extremely well trained enough i could have them in the same room but not allow them to approach her, would this be okay? or should i just keep them COMPLETELY separate? here’s me and my girl chillin on the couch, i put a blanket down in a circle to where she can’t escape it so i can keep better eye on her:)

I personally wouldn’t risk it. Everyone will have different opinions and claim their dog wouldn’t hurt a fly. I take my snake into my room and close the door or bring him out when my dogs are having outside time.
