She's lovely ;) - I can't help kissing my little Emily - she sometimes seems to put her head up to me for that (I know everyone will laugh LOL!) so she's not afraid of it. I tend to kiss all my pets (though not excessively). Not sure about snakes (salmonella I guess) but with parrots (I have one) they have negative bacteria whereas humans have positive (I think I've got that right) and although people say "Ugh - don't kiss parrots - you'll catch something!" it's more likely parrot would get something from kissing a human.
