Salmonella can be carried in reptiles, but they have to be exposed to it. They don't just come with it. If this iguana has been a pet his whole life, then chances are good (unless he was fed raw meat) that he does not have it. If you are concerned, you can have him tested for carrying it from your vet as well.

Salmonella in pet reptiles is much over-hyped.
