I have a small painted turtle and have read a child died from salmonella she got from painted turtle pet. I have a 5 year old and a 4 month old. This turtle was rescued after an injury and we have had him for 2 years. The CDC recommends not reptiles for people with children under 5.

Sad because my 5 year old has really take interest lately and been feeding and doing light changes at bed time.

I am careful during cleanings and don't let him help. Anyone else have this problem?
