Hi,

I think most animals have salmonella - probably even their own strain.

But yes - go wash his mouth out with soap.

















Nothing to do with the snake being in there just my granny always threatened me with it and I want to see what the result is from a safe distance.

To help prevent transmission of salmonella bacteria

You should wash your hands between handling each animal- at least ones housed separately so if they are contaminated with salmonella or have any other contagious health problems you are not passing it on from one reptile/animal to another...

Keeping cages clean etc. will not prevent your animals from getting salmonella... in studies that have been done it's been shown that over 50% of the animals carry one or more strains of salmonella... so it's best to just assume that your herps, cat, dog, mouse, gerbil or rabbit all have salmonella and take proper precautions.
