I have had my dragon for 3 years and I have an 8 month old and have read some things about children uder 5 being able to get salmonella, I have found a rescue place to take my dragon and of course I am sad but don't want my baby to get sick. Is this true that they carry the disease and I should give him to another home or is it only turtles? thanks.
