Just wondering everyone's thought's on women who are pregnant and handling snakes/reptiles in general. I've heard lot of things about it but the top one is usually contracting salmonella...which happens whether you're pregnant or not. Some even go so far as to say if a baby is on it's way, an expecting mother should get rid of her reptiles altogether.
But I'm just curious. Getting rid of the reptiles seems pretty extreme, however there may be something more serious than just salmonella that I haven't heard about.
