Washing your hands after handling the animal and any waste should eliminate any risk - which is what people should be doing anyway _________________ www.freewebs.com/johelian www.freewebs.com/joslittleworld --------------------------------- 1.0.0 Argentine Tegu T.merianae 3.4.0 Monkey Tailed Skink C.zebrata 1.0.0 Crawl Cay Boa B.c.imperator 0.1.0 Royal Python P.regius Back to top agallegos37 Respected Member Joined: Apr 14, 2006 Posts: 378 Location: Clearwater, FL Posted: Sun Jul 16, 2006 3:09 pm    Post subject: Yup. I think that anything that lays eggs carries salmonella. So be sure to wash your hands before and after handling them. I got sick from it once and it was NOT fun _________________ 1.0 Argentine B/W Tegu (Dante) 0.1 Red Tegu (Azshara) Back to top Johelian Retired Mod Joined: Nov 22, 2004 Posts: 848 Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 4:30 am    Post subject: Its not just egg laying beasties as you can get it from pork too I think..? Im pretty sure that anything that comes into contact with contaminated meat or faeces etc can potentially become a carrier. _________________ www.freewebs.com/johelian www.freewebs.com/joslittleworld --------------------------------- 1.0.0 Argentine Tegu T.merianae 3.4.0 Monkey Tailed Skink C.zebrata 1.0.0 Crawl Cay Boa B.c.imperator 0.1.0 Royal Python P.regius Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         theTegu.com Forum Index -> Reptiles All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1 Translate to English using Google Language Tools:   Jump to: Select a forum General Site Forums----------------Site NewsWelcomeFun & GamesSuggestion BoxBusiness Ratings & ReviewsMembers LoungeHelpful Information Tegu Forums----------------Normal DiscussionGeneral CareHealth IssuesTegu HousingClassifiedsBreeding & GeneticsShow & Tell (Picture Forum)Lights!
