This is by far the most compelling argument in this thread. I can't believe how many times I rolled the dice and could have had a snake poo on my bare chest...Originally Posted by Slim
You don't need to be concerned about catching things from your snake. It's cleaner than you are (germ-wise). I would not advise licking the snake. It will not make you trip out and it will not enjoy the affection. I would use sanitizer before and after handling. Before handling would be for the safety of the snake since it can't ask YOU to take a bath before touching it
I would mostly advise you to do some research on germs and how they are transmitted. If your question is "is my snake icky" then get another pet. If your question is about being sanitary, your snake poses no higher risk than any of the other perils in your home.
