Can People Give RI's to their BP's?

[snakemum]

Just wondering..... if I have a cold.....could my BP's catch it???....or is it something different that causes RI's in ball pythons (or any snakes)....just wondering if it is more a bacterial issue with the snakes, rather than a virus that causes a respiratory infection?????........

Nope...Very few illnesses can cross from animal to human or vice versa.
