I can see a lot of not so good in this and a small amount of good but for what.
What I don't see is anything positive.
People have been keeping and being bitten by Ball Pythons for more than 40 years. I don't know of anyone ever anywhere that has had anything other than an embarrassing story and a few moments of surprise and a bit of a sting come of it.
You seem a rather single minded individual whose focus is on bacteria. That's cool. The rationals and reasoning behind this snake related curiosity that you are using are faulty. For the general hobbyist your work has no relevance that is not already well documented. If you're looking to reproduce what has been done, then I suppose you're on the right track. If you're looking to pioneer, you might want to see what your destination is before you board your train.
