I think you might have missed my point or maybe I was to vauge. What I meant was, your toddler is no danger. It usually takes some severe pain to make a Ball act violently. The picture I had in my head with "pencil-necked" comment was your stereotypical, pastey-faced, highschool geek. I, personally, don't agree with small children holding snakes at all. They don't have a concept of "too much pressure", they don't know that they need to move slowly (especially with a Ball), they basically don't know because they're still new, themselves. I'd say four is about as young as I'd go for allowing my children to hold any snake and I'd probably still be a little apprehensive about it. Just to clear something up, in case it becomes an issue, I am not saying that you're a bad parent...this is just my own personal preference. Your toddler is in no danger, even while holding the snake. The snake on the other hand...
