Detailed explanation-1: -Salmonella naturally lives in their intestines and can be found in their feces (poop). The bacteria in poop can easily contaminate the animals’ body parts (fur, feathers, or scales) and anything in areas where these animals live and roam (like a terrarium or aquarium, chicken coop, pen, or fencing).
Detailed explanation-2: -Salmonella infection is caused by a group of salmonella bacteria called Salmonella. The bacteria are passed from feces of people or animals to other people or animals. Contaminated foods are often animal in origin. They include beef, poultry, seafood, milk, or eggs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reptiles and amphibians might have Salmonella germs on their bodies even when they appear healthy and clean. Salmonella can spread by either direct or indirect contact with amphibians (e.g., frogs), reptiles (e.g., turtles, lizards or snakes) or their droppings.
