Cats and Snakes

I would like to get a pet snake, but I have three cats already. Would the cats stress out the snake too much for it to be healthy?

Answer #1

I have owned many snakes from pythons to corn snakes when I had my ball pythons my mom still had her cat because the ball pythons are so docile they will rarely strike and they are a small easy to care for python

Answer #2

Cats & snakes together is asking for trouble. Cats are inquisitive animals. Unless the snake is non poisonous, its either goinh to be the cat or snake.

Answer #3

I personally think you should get a small gardener snake and keep it in a room your cats cant get into.

Answer #4

Depending on what snake you want to get, the snake is actually more likely to stress out your cats! Also, introducing ‘new’ pets to ‘old’ pets can be iffy; they don’t always accept each other and there can be conflict! A vet or animal specialist will be able to advise you best. Snakes are really hard to look after so make sure you know what your taking on!
