Our 6 and 3 yr olds both hold the BP and the KSB. It all started with holding a friend's frog last July. We have our BP b/c it's really Ryan's - the 6 yr old! We have him to thank. So he may be on shortly, posting a poll asking, "How often do you let your parents hold your herps?"
They are both supervised while holding/petting the snakes. They are gentle and loving with them. And they wash up or use anti-bacterial hand liquid afterwards. And no more kissing, even though they beg!
