Well, you wouldn't want to use animals that don't have a clean bill of health anyway, so I don't think parasites should really be of concern. I think basic experience with keeping single species set-ups and an understanding of theories behind keeping multi-species set-ups is all thats needed to get started. I just have a problem not encouraging exploring these other aspects of our hobby. Are we not here to promote the growth and evolution of our hobby as a whole...or are we here to promote a stagnant view of how we should be keeping our reptiles. Hopefully, by years end I will have enough experience keeping multi-species vivaria to help guide other forum members interested in doing the same.

And the circling is worth it.

Finding beauty in the dissonance." - Maynard James Keenan
