Is it safe to have a pet snake with young children?

Answered By Paige Harbold


It is not safe to have pet snakes especially if you have children with compromised immune system. Snakes are considered high risk animals and are the common source of salmonella infection in children. If ever you already have the pet before your children was born, keep it away from your children under five years old. Teach your older children to wash their hands after handling the pet snakes.
