    Possible toxic substances.

    I've been really worried about what comes in contact with my snake lately. I don't know what could potentially harm her. I always scrub my hands clean before handling her, I'm worried I have lotion or makeup on my hands so I'm always so cautious. But should I really be so paranoid? I don't know how fragile she could be and what is dangerous to have around snakes. I always change clothes too if I plan on handling her and I got some deodorant on my clothing or spilled a beverage. Is this just over reacting?

    Yes you are over reacting.

    Things you need to be cautious with are essential oils, bleach,pesticide of all sort and anything you would be concern about if it was a dog or a cat.

    Beverage, deodorant etc are fine, you do however as a good practice want to wash your hands before and after handling any type of reptiles.
