    I would limit handling till you feel better. There is no risk of giving your snake what you have...but with your immune system out of wack you don't want to risk getting something from him (like salmanila).


    There won't be any adverse affect from not playing with him for a week or more.

    Hope you feel better. *sends Jeri some soup*

    My biggest concern would be that you might fall asleep while relaxing with him, and he'd decide to go on a little tour of the house. I try not to handle the snakes even if I'm especially tired. It's times like that, that you make mistakes and in the long run it's just not worth it.

    Re: I'm sick so...

    I usually refrain from handling when I am sick unless I have to. Just so I don't end up getting worse. Plus washing my hands 5000 times extra lol.

    Sorry you are sick, by any chance are you sneezing like crazy, all stuffed up and feeling like you got ran over by a buss? I just got over that fun stuff, I took Zicam and it worked, I was only sick for 3 days.
