And congrats!!! Is this your first child?


I agree completely! I have 2 kids, and was specifically told by my doc NOT to ever clean the litter box, or even be in the same room where I might breathe some dust. (something about something in cat feces can cause miscairages) The doc, who happened to have a BIG burmese beauty, said as long as you dont touch your face before you wash your hands you shouldnt have any problems. The doc said if you come in contact with the snake poo, you could get salmonella if you feed your snake an infected mouse, but even then, wash with antibacterial soup, and you'll be in the clear.
