    Gloves

    I know this might be a long-shot, but I figured I can't be the only one allergic to latex.

    I was wondering if anyone knew where to find some non-latex gloves that I can wear while cleaning the snakes enclosures. Currently cleaning involves having to move everything and dumping it in the tub to be rinsed without being touched, but I would rather be able to pick things up first. My problem is I can find anything that is non-latex, and it's driving me crazy.

    I was cleaning out a glass aquarium last night that I had just bought, and ended up having to wear latex rubber gloves, so that was no fun (it was too heavy for me to lug by myself to the bathroom), and since it is going to be Pips new home, I figured I should atleast look into it. So I only have to do the lugging every few weeks when a full disinfecting shall take place.

    I'm more looking for stores where I can just go and pick some up instead of ordering offline. I've checked one Wal-Mart, Zellers, and the general drug stores, but all have latex in them. Any other ideas?

    Check like local beauty stores for plastic gloves used when dying hair.
    We are just backwards I cant use the plastic gloves so I have to buy latex when I do my hair.

    You'd be surprised how much stuff latex is in. I can't use Aloe. LOL. There is a great beauty supply shop here in town, I'll check that out as soon as I can (of course, it has to be on the other side of the city from me, but oh well, it's near some places I like to shop so I'll just stop in the next time I'm shopping).

    I have a weak immune system and a lot of open cuts on my hands at any given time. I'm just lucky I haven't gotten sick yet.
