is it safe.......

[snakehunter]

one of my bps is sick, and i do not wish to infect my other bp (who is still not out of the woods yet), and i was wondering if it is safe to use that purell hand sanitizer that evaporates w/o water. i had anotherr question, but forgot it at the time, oh well. thanx

It's very safe and an excellent idea. No one comes into my snake room with out first using that stuff on their hands.

Its safe, but apparently not highly effective. Friends of mine own the tat/piercing place near me, and their supplier had the stuff tested, and it sure doesn't kill off the 99.9% of all germs it speaks of! What I do between even handling two healthy animals is to spray and rub (4x) 99% pure alcohol on my hands, followed by a scrub down with antibacterial dishsoap.
