Sorry for the off topic post. Don't know where else to go that isn't completely anti-reptile.



The pediatrition just told my wife we should get rid of all the reptiles in the house due to salmonella. He said that no matter how careful we were that transmission was possible. He said that infants are especially at risk.



The best reptile vet in town said that they can't be 100% sure about the presence of samonella. False positives and negatives are too easy.



Any info/experience would be greatly appreciated. I need to make an informed UNBIASED decision. I don't want to throw away 10 years of work and dreams, but he comes first. My wife says its my decision...and I want it to be the right one.



I don't know if it makes a difference, but all my reptiles have been in my care for 2 or more years. None have shown symptoms of salmonella, but I am not sure that they can't be carriers.



Travis
