Sweet snake. Is that hand sanitizer okay for using before and after handling, it seems as though everyone was just saying to use water to wash your hands. I've heard you should wash your hands before and after. Oh and do snakes smell, I really didn't think they did I just couldn't know that.

I use hand sanitizer after handling each snake. When you're at a show, you'll see sanitizer everywhere. That's so nothing can spread to another persons table through people handling reptiles.

Sometimes I wash my hands, especially if I'm about to handle food. I'll use my sanitizer and wash my hands in that case. Rather be safe than sorry!

Yeah I'll get some, but should you use it before too or is it okay to just wash with water.

I have used baby wipes, unscented and also a small anount a baby shampoo, but only after egg laying, or if they crap in hide and I dont catch during cleaning and they lay in it for a day or 2.
