Yes, but your friendly dog can also have salmonella as well as a gambit of other diseases. Where do you think your snake gets salmonella? I just detest how people pick on reptiles for having salmonella as it is one of only a handful of diseases that dogs or cats can give to humans.

Sorry if I seem a bit heated. My mother, who is now a retired kindergarten teacher, was forced to take her snake and bearded dragon home because of the irrational fear of salmonella. In the 10 or so years she had reptiles in her classroom, do you know how many cases of salmonella she dealt with? ZERO.
