I dont see why people make this a huge issue?? I handle all my snakes before, during, and after feeding. I dont "over-do" it after they eat, just remove them from their tubs and clean the rat poo out, lay clean towels and put their hides and water bowls back in. It is not a big deal. I have one big girl that I have to wipe down as well because she tends to bleed out her rats by squeezing all of the fluid she can out of them.![]()
