I doubt that it would be species specific, maybe someone
else
would know better than I. In geckos, coccidia can vary from
having little to no noticeable effect on an animal to
serious
regurgitation and/or runny stools resulting in dehydration.
I'd worry if they don't practice strict hygiene between their
animals.
If the animals are routinely handled/cleaned without hand
washing,
you could have problems. I've maintained geckos with
coccidia
for long periods in the same room as others without
cross-infection,
but I'm anal about cleaning.

A friend of mine purchased some bearded dragons, all of them ended up having a massive load of coccidia.
I am worried about the geckos they have, contracting it (because i was suppose to be getting some of there geckos).
Its the form of coccidia that attacks bearded dragons species specific? We have been told yes and no.
If you have any information about cross species contamination please let me know, until then i will have to delay receiving my animals.
Thank You,
