Oh dear, not good for the hobby
rather poor reporting in my opinion, whats to say she did not wipe her sides down after preparing raw meat etc ?
How many are gonna panic and dump/give up their reptile after reading this ? BBC NEWS | England | West Midlands | Baby gets salmonella from snake

She has obviously never educated her son to clean his hands after handling his snake - and worryingly the 9yr old seems to have unsupervised access to the snake. Idiots!!

Salmonella bacteria can be carried on the loose change in your pocket amongst other things! That's a dreadful report, I would expect better from the BBC, is there somewhere you can comment on the story?

easier to blame the snake then herself how many of us have babies/kids in the house and have never had anything wrong with them?

totally agree linda! pets, especially reptiles are always used as a scapegoat when something goes wrong!!
I found this link on the same site.... so now gerbils are too dangerous to be kept as pets too! BBC NEWS | Health | Pet rodents 'a salmonella risk'
