I do that too, but why the disposable gloves

Exactly.

Hides:
Store bought and my snakes won't use them.

Any food cardboard box and they flock to it.
I also purchase meat trays from our local Sam's club. They are Styrofoam. Entry doors are easily put in and they are dish washer safe.
They charge .99 cents for 2 dozen(12 small and 12 large)

Weird how they dont like the store bought.

It's no fun picking up wet snakie poop that looks dry, then getting it under your nails.

[RedSidedSPR]

Soap. Use soap.

[kibakiba]

Soap doesn't exactly help when your nails are as long as mine. Scrubber things made for nails don't really help either.

I keep my nails very short (because of sculpting, nails nick the clay) and I must say, even under my short nails, snake poop is not fun!!!

I usually cover the wet stuff with substrate and then pick it up.
Doesn't always work, sometimes I end up with poop on my hand.
I swear when that happens I can hear snakes laughing
Little jerks.

I pick up the stuff around it and It doesn't touch me! If it does, big deal.

It's really easy with my babies cause I just have to pick up the one little peice of soiled bark.

Not so much for handling garters, but I have couple pair of "mad scientist" gloves (thick PVC gloves designed for handling dangerous chemicals). They are thick, so if you wanted to handle a particularly mean snake (like Red's water snakes). I use a pair in the snake room for cleaning, one in the kitchen (no dishwater burns with these things), and one for automotive work.

Here's a great thing for herping: a Gopher. You know, those sticks with the suction-cup claw on the end. Use it to move small planks and sticks, or even pick up specimens with it.

Or: use your hands kidding great suggestion.

Sorry, ive just always used my hands for everything. Hand feeding, is truly hand feeding. No tongs. Crap duty. Flipping tin and handling highly venemous species..... bare hands baby (kidding never done that)
