Something to keep in mind: Reptiles do carry salmonella as it is part of their natural gut flora bacteria as it is yours. Children and people with certain illnesses may get sick from exposure. It seems to be more of a problem with young reptiles (turtles under 4 inches) and with people under the age of 21. Both humans and reptiles seem to build more of a resistance to it with age. Children should keep handling of any turtle or tortoise to a minimum and should be made to scrub up with antibacterial soap immediatly after any handling....and never bring any baby turtles or iguanas into a household with children.
