I keep a thing of hand sanitizer on top of my reptile tanks and I try to use it the majority of the time. I'm a bit lax when handling Kodo or my snakes, but I always wash my hands before and after I handle my scheltopusik. In the 20 years I've kept herps, I've kissed many and never gotten sick. Basic hygiene will keep you safe. And I wouldn't recommend keeping you tegu in your mouth for extended periods of time, that'll give you cooties for sure.
