    Essential oils

    There are times I take a bath with lavender and eucalyptus oil I have the dripper bottle in a ziplock bag and rinse out the tub I know if it gets on the snake it’s not good I am trying to look it up about the aroma part of it
    Is there anything I should be concerned about
    I also got a lotion with eucalyptus, and I believe spearmint as a Christmas gift I refuse to put it on me if I know if I’m going to handle my noodle

    Eucalyptus is very irritating to snakes lungs (like cedar) to the best of my knowledge. I would not hold a snake while wearing it, & I would avoid using ALL essential oils around snakes.
    (The lavender in your bath is probably okay, but mint lotions? Probably better to avoid.)

    Ok I just realized that I used this themthe body wash last night and it’s even a bit strong for me
    Since receiving it the ONLY time I use it is if I’m at work and not handling him and certainly will wash hands twice before handing
