are very friendly and rarely show aggressive behavior.

So if you have a bearded dragon that exhibits aggressive behavior, I recommend that you learn about body language or bearded dragons.

After all, bearded dragons don't usually carry small bottles of hand sanitizer or sing “Happy Birthday” while washing their hands. I just wanted to make you aware of what could happen, but the truth is that there aren't many people I know who get sick from bearded dragons. Salmonella can be present even in healthy bearded dragons, but one who is sick may have a higher concentration of bacteria in their digestive system. Some bearded dragons are quite shy and want to be left alone, especially bearded dragons who recently moved to a new home may show defensive behavior.

That's why it's highly recommended to wash your hands with warm soapy water every time you touch your bearded dragon or clean the terrarium. So the first thing you should think about is whether bearded dragons show any aggressive behavior that could be dangerous for me or my family. Bearded dragons and other reptiles can carry salmonella bacteria on their skin, and the bacteria can even be found in animal enclosures. Salmonella can be transmitted simply by holding them, cleaning their enclosures in a sink, allowing them to walk on floors or surfaces, or allowing children to touch and then touch their mouths.
