If you see a python, who's to say the prior owners haven't fed it chicken, or that it hasn't come across [[Salmonella]] in the wild?

:It's Salmonella, not Ebola or the T-virus. I handle raw chicken directly when making dinner, I feed it to my dog (look up raw feeding, far superior to most kibbles), and as long as I wash my hands, I'm fine. Snakes are not some sort of ultra-germ-repository any more than we are - wash your hands and you'll be fine. All in all, you're far more likely to get salmonella from food than snake handling, so they aren't particularly notable in this regard. And unless you can provide a link to a medical journal describing transmission of salmonella from a snakebite, that's a non-issue. [[User:HCA|HCA]] ([[User talk:HCA|talk]]) 22:29, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
