Salmonella

[NateDogg13]

You could probably catch salmonella if you play with their feces or something. Ive heard its easier to catch it from some lizards other than snakes. Could be because lizards expell themselves daily or every couple days compared to once a week or every other week.

I have 2 children , 8 and 4, that love handling and touching my snakes, ( under careful supervision) especially the 8 year old. While I consider myself a cautious parent, I am sure there have been a few times when hands were forgotten to be washed after handling the snakes. My children have never gotten sick after handling my snakes. and I am sure my 4 year old, has put his hands in his mouth after touching or holding one.
