Can they catch our colds?

Hello!
My step son just came for the weekend and has a cold. Can our beardie catch it from him?

I do not believe they can catch our colds, but to be on the safe side, make sure he washes his hands a lot, and especially just before he handles the beardie. It might be best to limit handling time, though.

Ok. I was going to go the safe route anyway, but it brought up the question.

The little stinker decided to sleep all afternoon anyway. (The lizard, not the boy.)

Hello, no they cannot catch our colds and we cannot catch their RI's.
