I don't hear at all that Noonan's snake has the run of the house (which would be dumb on a number of counts, with or without baby - you lose the snake very fast).

A snake in a locked cage/enclosure is no more danger to a baby than a knife in a locked drawer. In fact that's a pretty good analogy. If you leave sharps lying around within reach of your infant you're asking for trouble. Locked away - not a problem at all.

Eviently you're not very knowledgeable about snakes kept as pets. That's ok. Like any other animal (dogs, perhaps?) there exists the potential for the pet to harm another creature. Of course, like any other animal (dogs, perhaps?) if the owner is knowledgeable, properly trains, cares for, and controls the animal, there will be no issues.

In reality though, snakes are about some of the most predictable pets ever. I trust the owners description of a snake's temperment much more than their description of a dog or cat's temperment. I know my snake is way more predictable than my cat, or any other dog or cat I've met.

Exactly correct. I've had multiple snakes over the years and they're generally much more predictable than a cat or a dog. Boas are known for being very laid back and calm and very rarely show aggression of any kind. They learn very quickly what food is and what it isn't. I wouldn't let a large snake run loose in the same room with a baby, but then I wouldn't let a large active dog in the same room either.

Thanks for all the support guys. I fight these battles a lot with the misunderstandings of snakes.
Bella's a keeper.. she's calm and very tame already.. No worries. I wouldn't trust my hyper dog with the baby either. :D

When my dog Chrissie Hound (a Greyhound/something shaggy mix posted earlier) passed last year, I didn't think I'd get another dog. I was wrong. Here's my rescued BASSet Hound Jelly with my most recently acquired basses.

Note: The pink stripes on the black Cruise bass are reflections of some warning tape I have stretched over a patch of new grass I'm trying to establish.

Jelly looks really lovable.
Those basses look pretty lovable too.

I thought that too when I lost my English bull Ginger...out of her whole life, losing her was the only bad memory - the good far outweighed the bad. I'll never be dogless the rest of my life!
 
This is Buddy the Cat. He is a Maine Coon. He will come and just sit in the room with me while I practice. It is a characteristic of the breed. They are much like dogs in the way they interact with you. They just like company and want to be in same room with you. Best cat I ever had.

Maine Coons are THE coolest cats ever. Ours had to be put down last year, due to some sort of kidney disease, and we miss him greatly.

Here's a couple pics of him, lounging in a bass case, and with my Mike Lull M5V:

I wish I had another Basset. Coolest dog I ever had.
