    Re: Ever gotten Salmonella from your reptiles?

    I was once told that samonella wasn't good for reptiles either, and that the reptile had to be sick for the samonella to harm you. Anyone know if that's based in fact at all, or maybe just exaggerated?

    and to contribute. Never had any problems. Usually wash hands afterwards, but not always. Cuddle/kiss and such.

    edit- another common thing I've heard is that turtles are more likely to pass it than other reptiles. Fact or bs?
