OH. and is it not cool to hand sanitize your hands before handling your snake?

[ScottyDsntKnow]

Use soap and water and wash it all off but I wouldn't use hand sanitizer. Wouldn't want the residue irritating the snake at all.

I always use Germ-X before I handle my boys, but I let it dry before picking them up.

[andrew123]

hmmm,
okay isn't germ-x kind of the same thing as sanitizer if i were to let it dry?
i always let it dry before i handle her, but now im concerned.

From your first post it sounded like you said you were wiping the snake with sanitizer... I sanitize between each snake and do not take any extra precautions.

just rub it in and move onto the next one.

okay thanks,
so in other words, as long as im not wiping her down,
but im using it on my hands im set?
thanks Bruce.

I dunno I'm a little sketch even using regular old purell hand sanitizer and then handling a reptile. That won't irritate their skin or eyes at all? I understand people with big collections or breeders can't be running to a sink every time they handle a new animal...

Hand sanitizer is gelled alcohol, it is meant to evaporate quickly with friction.
