Salmonella is all interchangeable to my knowledge. However, I doubt you had a snake that had salmonella. According to some data less than 1% of salmonella cases (and according to some up to 1%) come from reptiles. Of that about 95% of those case are from baby turtles. Leaving only 2.5% to either snakes or lizards. Which means, that if there were 100,000,000 you only have a chance of about 2500 cases being from snakes. Now there are nowhere near that amount of cases per year I am sure, however, you always need to be careful and wash your hands before and after handling.
