Are ball pythons safe to have around babys?

Its very unlikely the snake you try to eat or bite a baby but it could very well hurt the baby if it wrapped around it, babies are warm and snakes like the warmth. They are very powerful animals and babies are just sacks of baby flesh. Its better safe than sorry. Unless of course your baby is a cold baby and has no body heat. Then by all means use it as a door stop. They are great conversation pieces.
