    Bunny problems

    While my mother was walking the dogs today, she found a bunny in the middle of the street and decided to save it. I'm an animal lover so of course, I cuddled with it for a few hours! It's so fluffy!
    My concern is, now that I have the scent of a rabbit on me, will my ball python try to bite me?
    Mind you, I've never fed him rabbits; he's no where near the size to be able to eat one regardless, but I just want to make sure. Taking some safety precautions before approaching my bp. Any suggestions or advice?

    As C2tcardin said, you should wash your hands... But also, you should make sure that the scent isn't carrying on any parts of your body that the snake will be on OR on clothing. Always take precaution and keep clean after handling others animals.

    I actually ran into that exact situation a week or two ago. I just washed my hands; my snake didn't seem to care. If you're really worried about her getting nippy, just change shirts and shower too.
