  Well, I guess if your 11 yr old is dumb enough to stick his head in the tank and inhale deeply, then yes, you probably should.

   

  Wow, Did you just call my 11yo dumb? My 11yo is wise beyond his years, he would never do that, He has more common sense in his pinky finger than you do your whole damn body.

   

  and as for "Mature responses" Yeah you should look at yourself for that one, that was very immature what you said.

• It's all on how the dogs are raised...

  I wouldn't trade my dog for the world (however, he is a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix but we have had a pit mix).  He's protective of me and my family.  Won't let anyone he knows NEAR my kids unless I call to him.  However my kids can roll all over him, tug at his hair (though we do teach them that's not nice!)... Sweetest thing in the world and listens like you wouldn't believe!

  Raise them right.  Train them right.  Teach your KIDS how to treat them right (that's right, the KIDS!  There are so many kids who treat animals poorly and then the animal gets fed up and THAT'S when something is likely to happen).  Might something still happen?  Sure, there's ALWAYS a chance.  However, don't blame the breed.  Blame the one(s) who raised it.

   

  As for snakes...my hubby had a ball python.  Got it when it was a baby.  I myself wasn't crazy about it but that was because I didn't want my kids going around our yard picking up any ol' snake.  We eventually got rid of it...and I personally wouldn't get another.  Those who do have one, need to make absolute sure every precaution is taken to ensure the safety of their loved ones.

• ball pythons(like the one pictured) are not the type of pythons that get out and squeeze a baby. I am sure the OP is talking about the big ones

  It doesn't matter either way, that was neglect on the ADULT's Part, don't blame the snake, he was just doing what naturally comes to him. If the ADULT in that house would have been paying attention that never would have happened.

• True. I have 2 cats that my baby really wants to grab lol. It's my job as the parent to keep her away from the animals so that she doesn't hurt them and so they don't bite/claw her face off. Any pet can be dangerous. A baby/small child could drown in a fish tank, a cat could bite/claw a kid to bits, the family wiener dog could get sick of having it's tail pulled and bite. It's my job to make sure that I keep my kids away from the cats and their litter boxes and it's my job to keep the locks on my snakes tank, even though the cats have never attacked and the snake does nothing but sleep in a ball.
