I know it is somewhat different in captive snakes but I don't freak out over germs. Sure I take precautions to not get sick but I have a immune system to take care of things. I'm sure even if HIV can stay in the environment for more than a couple of seconds that it would be in such a weakened state that a normal persons immune system could kill it. Same thing with snakes I can take all the precautions in the world but at some point the snakes immune system has to take over I can't sterilize everything.
