Default Handling while pregnant?

Are you ok to handle beardies or snakes while pregnant?

I'd agree with that, probably causes far to much stress which can have a big effect on the bubs !

Snakes especially towards the later stages will become agressive anyway. That gives you an indication they are not to be messed with

yeh I dont see why not as long as shes not scared cos that may stress her out, and they get aggressive towards the end of the pregnancy and very demanding

there no reason why a reptile or even a cat litter tray shouldnt be gone near when pregnant as long as you have good hygiene. antibacterial hand gel is handy to have around your reptiles generally in case of any accidents so you could always invest in some of that whether your pregnant or not
