having done the whole snakes and pregnancy thing, there's a small risk of salmonella, unless you're keeping exotics in very humid, tropical type environments this risk is minimal. i continued to handle, feed and clean out my snakes all through pregnancy and my little girl (2 next month) has handled them from a very young age. hope this helps and congrats on your news  |

I think it is just a small risk- if you maintain good hygiene then there's nothing to worry about. We are all slightly at risk of salmonella really, that's why we wash our hands after handling and not put our snakes in our mouths
Congratulations Vicki! |
