I've thought about that during the visits we've done. We don't do anything risky, because of such worries. We always have the gator and croc taped up, and we just carry the snakes around and present the tail or mid section for touching. We also haven't been doing it enough to know for sure how our animals will react to so many small hands on them. It would be very counter productive to have the kids freak out because "Little Timmy" got bitten by the exotic snake. Could you imagine the terrible newspaper headlines? The kids are really excited just to get to touch them and find out that they are not "slimey"!
Again, thanks for the input!
