    Haha. I used to be a habitual nail biter but I stopped putting my fingers in my mouth when I began to find myself elbow deep in snake poop every day.

    I've not graduated to that stage yet. I mean, I can barely remember not to poo in the bathtub when I'm in there. It's tough being a 3 year old in an adult's body

    Before eating, or after handling if the snake is dirty or I came into contact with their waste products.

    Obsessively and not just my hands since they tend to hang out on other parts of me.

    Re: Handwashing?

    I have horses, dogs, goats and snakes. I always wash my hands before handling my snakes and handle QT snakes last. Other than that, if I drop my candy bar on the ground in the barn the 3 second rule applies lol. Outside People on the other hand freak me out and I become a compulsive hand washer, hand sanitizer and I have even threatened to spray guests with Lysol. Don't come to my house sick cuz you won't get on the property and an armed response might be necessary lol. I'm on chemo so terrified of other PEOPLES germs. Never gotten sick from my animals.
