Until they are 5, no reptile handling at all. Their immune system is (I'm told) not fully developed until then. I think I read that in "What to expect when you're expecting." After 5, they can handle them but they have to wash their hands BEFORE (protecting the animal) and AFTER. If they don't want to wash their hands after, I will allow them to use the hand sanitizer gel stuff, but I'd rather they wash. I have a 22 month old daughter and a nine year old boy (who has his own bull snake in his room.)
