You can contract salmonella from a bearded dragon primarily through direct contact with the reptile or its environment. The bacteria can be present in the dragon's feces and on its skin, so handling the animal without proper hygiene can lead to infection. Additionally, touching surfaces contaminated with salmonella, such as tanks or bedding, can also pose a risk. It's essential to wash hands thoroughly after handling bearded dragons or cleaning their habitats to minimize the risk of infection.

Can bearded dragons carry salmonella?

ALL reptiles carry salmonella - regardless of where they were bred. HOWEVER... Taking simple precautions when handling reptiles will drastically reduce the possibility of catching salmonella.... ALWAYS wash your hands after handling reptiles or their food - or cleaning out their vivarium. Use either a commercially available product OR a weak solution of Milton fluid (the stuff you sterilise baby bottles with) - one CAP of Milton to two GALLONS of water will suffice.
