I was just reading a web page on reptile keeping and salmonella. It stated that reptiles should be removed completlyfrom the house if a baby or a child under 5 is living in the house.

I am due to have a new born baby any time soon. I researched before hand and i read that as long as you anti bac your hands after handeling and keep all items related to the snakes away the risk of contaminstion is minmal. This site has made me think twice now.

My snakes are kept in tubs in one corner of my living room.

Any thoughts on this? Or will i have to sell my two snakes?
