There were a couple threads I found about this topic in general, but not this question specifically. Ensuring that your hands are clean is important when handling your snake, and I was wondering what you guys all use. I use http://www.reptilecenta.com.au/produ...products_id=87 ultimate hand gel, and I was wondering what you guys use, where you get it, how much it costs, etc etc. |

=D
I have repti hand but i rarely use it for hand washing - i find it quite good to do spot cleans in the enclosure and just leave the reptiles out til the smell dies down and rinse and dry with some plain water
