I used to never rinse and never had a problem either and for quick clean ups I don't rinse but now I just got into the habit after my Vet recommended. I have an outside sink, hose and which makes it real easy. I also have many extra tubs so I'm in no hurry to get the tubs ready. I like to be thorough. With many snakes I don't want any surprises. I have dealt with RI's in the past and it's no picnic. When you realize you animal is sick it has probably been a while already and could have easily spread. I say this from experience so now I am extra cautious, thats all.
