Not all bearded dragons carry Salmonella bacteria, but like other reptiles, they have the potential to harbor this bacterium in their intestines. Salmonella can be shed in their feces, and handling bearded dragons or coming into contact with their habitat without proper hygiene precautions can increase the risk of Salmonella transmission to humans. Therefore, it’s important to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling bearded dragons or their habitat to prevent the spread of Salmonella and reduce the risk of infection. Regular veterinary check-ups and proper care can also help minimize the risk of Salmonella contamination in pet reptiles.
