Re: Do you kiss your snake?
I would never kiss my snakes especially after thinking my yellow anny was all nice and then him biting me today. I dont think these bite mark would look to good on the lips.
Re: Do you kiss your snake?
Heck no!!!!! I agree Aleesha salmonella is not fun. I kiss my dog but not my snake! I love my snakes but I also respect they are reptiles. I ALWAYS wash my hands after handling ANY reptile. I thinks its best for me and the animals. I've been bit on the hand and i can live with that. I know someone who had a BP lock on their lip and they weren't trying to kiss it. OOOOOOuuuuuuuch! Anyone that swallows rats whole does not get even get a peck on the cheek from me!

When it bites you, there will be a post "Why did my snake bit me when I was just giving it a kiss?"

I have to confess once Cyrus started getting over his R.I. I was so happy I
kissed him! Silly I know. In response he stuck his head in my ear!

I'll take a picture of a ball python sitting in a tub soaked with its own urine and urates and feces, happily sitting right next to the pile of it all, and see who still wants to kiss their snake then.

Re: Do you kiss your snake?
Speaking as someone who's had salmonella it is definately not a fun time. That being said though I don't let germs rule my life. I don't wash my hands after using the bathroom, I eat food I drop on the floor and I let my dogs occasionally lick my icecream. So if you want to kiss your snake then I say go ahead and kiss him. I figure we have our immune system for a reason and I like to keep it on its toes. That said, no I do not kiss my Ball Python as I like watching my snake more than handling it. I'm not afraid to kiss my snake it's just I don't get the feeling of affection as I would from a dog so I don't see the point.
