Question about kids with herps

[Nate]

I think your right on.

a small burm, you allow it to crawl on your 3 year old under your supervision, your kid loves herps.......THAT'S GREAT

i do the same with my step-son-to-be. he loves holding them and i figure, start teaching him now... what's it gonna hurt? i do make sure he washes his hands before and after handling. you never know with a 3yo... lol

well our six year old mikey already has his on bp (buddy) and he is wanting us to get him a girl snake to make baby's when they get older. The breeding gene takes off early. I think introducing kids to all pets especially reptiles is a good thing we've taken the snakes to his school it's amazing how many kids are not afraid of them curious for shure but it seems more adults that are afraid of them. We just make shure that all kids that come in contact with them use hand sanitzer when they are done.

Of course they have wash up before and after. She has a bottle of hand sanatizer that is just for holding all the animals and when she wants one she brings me the bottle and says please lol. Shes not even scared of the scropion and tarantula but those she only gets to pet while I hold lol. Also with me allowing her to hold them she leaves them alone more lol. She's already asked me for one of her own babies but 3 is still a little young lol.
