Respiratory Help.

It's something I've been wondering and can't seem to find people who agree on the answer...

Can my ball python catch a respiratory infection from my cat? Or one from a mouse or rat?

I do believe it's a different kind of bacteria.. and unless it's coming in contact with the snake I don't think it's likely.
Mammals are effected differently than reptiles with bacterial infections and viruses. It can catch one by stress or improper husbandry just as easily as from another snake.
