If I'm sick can my ball get sick too?

I have like some kind of flu, I have some mucus and phlegms, nothing very serious, but I just wanted to know if my ball python could become infected for some respiratory disease if I handle it.

Thank you very much!

Nope you can't transmit anything to a snake

But you should always wash your hands before and after you handel your snake.

NO you cant get your snake sick but there is a very slight possibility your snake could give you salmonella as most reptiles cary it so like Aaron said make sure to wash up after handeling your snakes :)

Ditto. No danger to your snake, but if you have the flu, YOUR immune system is obviously compromised, you your risk of salmonella is a little elevated, so be extra careful about washing your hands after holding your snake. :)
