Can you catch salmonella from reptiles?

It’s long been believed that all reptiles carry salmonella.
However, an increasing body of evidence suggests salmonella isn’t as prevalent as previously thought. Veterinarian and pathology laboratory tests reveal that few reptiles present with salmonella infections.
We spoke to keepers attending a UK reptile show and we didn’t find anyone who had caught salmonella from reptiles.
Of course, catching salmonella from reptiles is possible, so good hygiene is always recommended. But it appears the risk of catching it from your companion reptile is highly unlikely.

Nope,even wild ones I'd handle...Not from frogs and toads either.

Wouldn't you have to lick the reptile to get salmonella? I mean, it's not like it's a skin infection or anything.
