Sick???

If I am sick and I handle my snake will they get sick from me? Or will they be okay?

Re: Sick???

Your snakes will be fine. They can't catch human diseases. While they do get upper respiratory infections, the bacteria and viruses that cause the disease in snakes are different.

Re: Sick???

Snake and people both get sick, but not from each other. There are no illnesses or parasites that are human-reptile specific.
Though I do think a few of my snakes have herpes after having my brother over to watch my collection while my wife and I were on vacation.

Re: Sick???

I`ve always tried not to do much in the snake room if I`m proper ill so this is interesting to read. There actually isn`t ANYTHING you can pass to a snake? Well that`s good....

Re: Sick???

There is NOTHING that you can transmit to snakes, or vice versa. Except maybe herpes, we'll find out...
