hey /an/, another bearded dragon question.

I went out and got some books about owning dragons. One of these books stated that while 90% of dragons tested positive for salmonella, there were no cases of dragon-to-human transmission recorded.

I'm not that worried about myself, but can a carrier lizard pass it on to other pets in the room? Specifically birds and rats. Also, if that were possible, could it be prevented by housing the pets in seperate rooms across the house?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Meh, with all the reptiles I've owned I've just been told to wash my hands before and after I handle them.

I should think you would only have to worry about your other animals if they come in contact with the dragon (which they probably shouldn't anyway). But I'm no expert, so I dunno lol

Quarentine period of at least one month before letting it stay in the same room as other animals.

ALL reptiles and birds can be salmonella carriers. Wash your hands before and after handling the beardie, and keep his cage clean. By that, I mean spot cleaning daily, disinfecting furniture and bowls at least once weekly, and a complete cage cleaning {fresh substrate and all} about every two weeks to a month.

And don't let it play with your other pets.

Oh, and don't kiss reptiles. Most people do, because gawd, they're so adorable, but it's a bad idea.

wash your hands, and don't put it in your mouth.

can I put it in my vagina? I don't see how salmonella could hurt there

Rule of thumb, if it's spikey, living, or has teeth,
DOESN'T GO IN THE VAGOO
