What can a snake do to my puppy?

A 5 and a half foot ball python escaped from her tank and she’s been on the loose in our house.. We can’t find her anywhere! (hard to believe).. I have a 10 week old pug puppy (he’s about 5 pounds) Can anything happen to him if he crosses paths with the python? The snake isn’t aggressive, and I know he’s too big to be eaten, but would she try anything with him?

Answer #1

Depends…unfortunatly you can never guess a snakes reaction to something its not familiar with, if the puppy starts to sniff around it or bark, it could bite or wrap its body around it and suffocate it. I would lock your puppy in a kennel intill you found the snake.
