Do any of you handle your snakes when your sick?
I don't get sick much but I am now, and today is cage cleaning day, should I or should I wait till I fell better?
Can I get my snakes sick? I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

No, you can't make your snakes sick, but your snakes can give you salmonella. You shouldn't expose yourself (let alone be working) when your immune system is already taking a beating.
Take the day off and get better. Your snakes will be fine until next week. Fresh water should be good enough for today.

My wife takes our out a couple of times a week to hold for a while. I kind of stand back and let the expert do it. OK that didn't come out right... I take care of the iguana she handles the balls.
