Are python snakes safe around kids?

Well, it's alldependent on what snake you get, and where you get it from. I have a Ball Python for example, and it's very sweet natured and will let you hold him all the time. I also have younger siblings (6, and 11) who also hold him and they have never been hurt.

Also my Python doesn't bite. Allmost allof it's kind dont. So,really it just depends on the type of snake. ( captive pets from a pet store or rescue are more tame and appropriate for children compared to wild snakes)

So just research and find a snake you like that is wellmannered and controled.
