If you take the precautions you stated, you'd probably be okay. I've never had an issue with Samonella and I allow my snakes to be in my face, on my head, and wherever else. The only other thing I would say is if you have a separate room with a closing and preferably locking door in which you can put your snakes, that would be ideal. Then all snake related things save for cleaning can go in that room, and the baby will not be allowed in the room. Handling could take place there as well and you can keep a thing of anti bac in there as well. It would also help prevent a "baby meeting snake by accident" fiasco.
