My bf thinks because the spiders cage is above the pythons she can smell her and wants to eat her. I think the spider is cold blooded and has an external skeleton so she is not interested in spiders for diner. Any one?
Wow... external skeleton? I'm not sure about that, you might want to look at both creatures and make sure about that one.
Yes, the snake can smell, very well in fact, and will probably 'want' to eat the spider, but as long as you don't let the snake out, then no problem. Don't starve the snake, then the snake won't try to get out.
