Re: Do you kiss your snake (or allow your kids to)?
i'm glad the OP has decided to not allow her kids to kiss her snakes. i really agree with judy (JLC) when she mentioned emily's snake having hidden yuckies in it's bowels... just think if that was the snake your kids were kissing! :eek:
we wash our hands with soap and water EVERY single time we handle our critters... no matter what it is. ratties, bunnies, birds, snakes, lizards,...
(although we don't wash every time we touch or dog or cats... but we also never kiss them on the mouth.)

I think you would have a better chance of hitting the lottery than contracting salmonella from a captive snake.
Thank you, Kyle. I felt all alone on the stage there for awhile. I've only been on the forum for a few days or so and seem to be turning people off with my posts. Depressing.
