Sorry but I find many forum members attitude towards the woman absolutely vile. No wonder reptile keepers have a reputation for being moronic.


Her kid has caught salmonella !!! ... it could have come from the snake or it could have come from something else.. But there is absolutely no reason to laugh at her and call her stupid.

If it happened to someone from here there would be about 50 threads on it asking how Salmonella could be eradicated from the earth.

Must remember to call them a dumb ass when it happens

People will blame anything and anyone rather than admit they made a mistake.

Talk about scaremongering! As has already been mentioned so far there is no proof that the snake is carrying salmonella, or that the baby caught it from the snake, so the headline is wrong! But it's attention grabbing isn't it???

The woman says the family carried out research on keeping reptiles beforehand. Am I the only sceptical one here!

Yes, the child should be told to wash his hands after touching the snake, but like grannykins I'm more worried that a 9 year old boy is allowed to handle his snake without a parent present!!

I see your point .... that would make them pretty odd.
