: hi everyone,
: my boyfriend and I live together, I have 2 sugargliders
: and my boyfriend just bought a ball python. the snake is going to stay in its aquarium(with a good lid so it won't get out), but I'm worried how the gliders are going to feel when they see the snake, or if the smell of the snake is going to scare them. Should I be concern???
: HELP Stephanie

Since the snake is one of their natural preditors they may respond to it out of sheer instinct. I too have had ball pythons in the past and I have to agree, they are escape artist just as the gliders are. It sounds like it could be a dangerous situation to me.
