Question
what are the signs of salmonella on a reptile?  

Answer
Hello Shannen,

Most reptiles naturally carry low levels of salmonella that does not affect them at all.
They usually don't show or exhibit symptoms most of the time.  Instead they present as poor doers, & may have some skin issues such as dermatitis.
