just like handeling a baby I say...wash wash wash (esp since i have a cat and he is in his litter box often) and give support as much as possible, they can be clumsey and curious at the same time so falling off is possible to there middle like everyone has said.. Im not comfortable walking around with him strung around my neck nor will I ever be, some people and ther snakes dont mind. you'll feel whats right and whats not right.

Good luck and congrats on your good eater!
Sorry about that!!! No, he isn't at home yet. He will be coming home with us on Monday night. We knew we were interested in a snake, but he was an impulse buy. We put money down on him to hold him and then came home to learn about snake care, housing and feeding. We wanted to do it right. I actually wasn't concerned about salmonella with the hand washing question, what I was concerned about is anything on our hands that would be bad for the snake!!!!
