I have no children but this is the advice I have. Each cage/rack should be key locked. For racks this is a bit harder than the jewelry slide locks, but can be done with a dowel down the front of the rack and a padlock hole at the top and bottom. I would suggest once your wife gets pregnant, she does not assist in cleaning etc... Also if she is breast feeding she does not help. I suggest children are introduced when they get past the age of putting everything in their mouth. You can show the snakes thru cages, but I suggest hands off until they reach that point.



Beyond that you will need to teach respect and the fact that it is dangerous. I know we have many posters that have children and I do hope they chime in as well.



But best advice, once the child is mobile LOCK EM UP! Hell I dont have kids and all my visions and neos are under lock and key.
