:O this has doubled my need to never, ever get salmonella.... this after my girl decided to pee alllll over me tonight.... It was so bad I just took a full shower. Tasty.... You have my condolences and thoughts OP, this sucks, especially with little ones to look after, not to mention your kids :P. It is true that statistically you are way more likely to get it from food than a pet. And from the snakes (at least this is how I view it, someone can feel free to correct me) it lives in their digestive tract. So if they have clean bedding and haven't played in their poo... You should be OK. I always wipe my girl down after I clean up a bowel movement and spot clean and deep clean accordingly. It sounds like you are super careful, so I doubt it was snake's fault. Good luck feeling better! I hope it passes swiftly :gj:
