    Do you handle your bp's if you are sick?

    So I'm just curious about this. Since I have cats and dogs, we can't really seperate ourselves from them while we are sick but I'm wondering about our snakes. All of us have a cold. Runny nose, stuffy head, aches and pains. Nothing serious just a cold. I am getting over mine, I was sick yesterday but my dds' are still sick along with hubby. If I wanted to handle my snakes tonite, could I?

    You're okay to handle them. Our pathogens are people specific, and theirs are snake specific.

    There won't be any problem with you handling them with a cold. Last time I had a fever, my Normal guy really seemed to like the extra heat.
