I made the mistake once of handling my Daughter's pet rats and only washing my hands quickly with water before picking up my King. He grabbed my finger. Whatever you do in that situation, do not yank your finger out or you may pull a tooth with it. Wait for the snake to open her mouth to adjust, and then slide your finger out of her mouth.

Now, it's soap and water before I touch a reptile.
