Respitory Infection spreading question?

[ballpython19]

i have my slider tank on a stand and located next to it is my snake rack.basically can a RI from my turtle spread to my rack or vice versa?? sorry if this is a foolish question just something ive been thinking and wanna know.thankz

In my opinion, I would separate the two. I personally treat an RI like a person with a cold. I try to isolate as soon as possible. I would hate to think I let a RI spread on my watch. The only RI that I have had to deal with is with a couple of rescue BPs. The former owner really was a dirtbag!
