releasing my snake :(

[mtolypetsupply]

Exposure can be as simple as you going to your friend's house, sitting outside on the grass in their yard, coming home and checking on your snake.

So if that's the case, and pathogens come from human environments, what are we bringing in when we "field herp"??????

What precautions should we take before going into a herping area?

What precautions should we take before coming home to our own collections?

Rubber boots and clorox before going in and coming home? Deet or pyrethrin on our clothes?
