I feel so embarrassed to ask, but being a newbie (doing as much research as I can before I purchase a snake in a few months), I just have this nagging question..
Would a snake think of pet cats as food? My fiance has two beloved 2 year old cats. We're just wondering how 1) a snake would react to the cats peering at the snake in its enclosure, 2) how a snake would react to the cats if the snake got loose (would it be more likely that the cats would injure the snake, rather than vice versa?, and will it depend on how hungry the snake is?)... and 3) if I went to handle the snake after handling the cats (if I didn't wash my hands) and their smell was on my skin and clothes, would the snake smell a tasty furry warm-blooded creature and try to bite?
Our cats spend the majority of their lives outside, and after the initial inspection of what's happening in that 'big see-through box' they would quickly lose interest, I'm sure, unless I decided to put a handful of butterflies or moths in the enclosure, rather than a snake!
FYI, I am planning to purchase a Bredli.
Thanks for any advice!
