We have a rose haired Tarantula and are due any day with our 1st baby. I had seen a horrible story of a little boy that became serousely ill from a reptile the family had because it carried Samonella the baby was permently brain damaged from the illness, it got me to thinking does trantualas carry salmonella? I know that reptile pets are likly to be out of thier cage interacting with the family unlike our spider which stays in its cage 100% of the time and when ever the take is cleaned our hands are washed immediatily but the cage has wire mesh lid so I dont know does salmonella get in to the air to wear even if we did wash our hands and leave the spider in there the baby could still get sick?
Rose haired tarantula and salmonella %26amp; new baby?
Spiders generally do not carry Salmonella only reptiles usually because they crawl through their own "buisness" if you keep the cage clean I see no reason that your pet will pass it along
