Adenovirus in Leos...?

Heather Dec 07, 2003 09:41 AM

I just had one of My Beardies die on me in a very strange way. For details check out the beardie forum. Anyhow, some of His symptoms are the same for Adenovirus. Unfortunatly, This beardie had contact with all my other herps too... I plan on getting a necropsy done on the beardie to confirm my worries. However I was wondering if Leos can get adenovirus too....? Anyone ever heard of it happening?

I'm so sorry you lost your Beardie. Adenoviruses are very rare in Leopard Geckos, but not uncommon in Bearded Dragons. These viruses can be airborne, so the results of your necropsy are very important. Hopefully, your reptiles are in good health and will not be affected if this is what is diagnosed. Keep us posted.
