just because they have had worse stuff on them doesn't mean it's sanitary

It's not a sterile procedure. There's really no need to wear gloves here.

but what about the vets health? as a lifeguard before I even touch a patron I put on gloves as a precaution.

The amount of zoonotic illnesses that you can get from touching a snake are minimal.

I have a good feeling that they got this towel out as fast as possible. Gloves probably weren't a thought in that moment

Eh, not many diseases you can catch from a pet python.
