I absolutely agree and understand that the cases of human salmonellosis from reptiles are blown way out of proportion. And I also beleive that many of the cases that are attributed to reptiles actullay come from someones improper handling of food.

Having said that though, I know there is enough of a threat to be cautious and I do know this is a discussion we should be having as a community. Cases attributed to reptiles only fuel the fire in the many states and communities that are trying to limit exotic animal ownership.

I'm still looking for practical ideas to limit any possible contamination of the baby's part of the house.
