Yes, geckos and some other reptiles can carry Salmonella bacteria. These bacteria are often found in the digestive tract of reptiles, including geckos, without causing any apparent illness. However, they can shed Salmonella in their feces, and if people come into contact with these bacteria, especially through handling the reptiles or touching objects in their environment, they can become infected. This is why it’s important to wash hands thoroughly after handling reptiles and to take other hygiene measures to prevent Salmonella infection.
