According to the site- Parvo
It is a disease associated with canines as a mutation of a feline virus.
a snippet from that site says..<TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Quote:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><BLOCKQUOTE> Using a bleach solution is an effective means of disinfecting. </BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD><HR></TD></TR></TABLE>
So it may be if you keep your herps and other animals seperate and follow good husbandry practices, then you would minimize any risk of it or any other nasty, such as worms etc. from the warm blooded pets ya have.

Thanks, I'm finding this out for the local pet store three of there dogs have died and 2 more just got tested positive for parvo and they just got a new shipment of herps in. There husbandry sucks I have been going up there and helping them when ever I have a chance basically working for free but hopefully I'll be getting a job there come Sunday.

You should also look into that pet-store. Not just for the reptiles, but for the mammals as well.
Entropy,

Aside from feeder rodents they have a ferret, cats, and dogs. I thik they are going to have to get rid of all of them because of the parvo.

Countryboy, if you go into that pet shop and you have dogs at home, especially puppies or senior aged dogs, please, please take extra precautions. You can carry viruses home on your clothing or shoes. Lysol sprayed on your shoes (soles, especially) may help. Make sure you change your clothes before interacting with your pets. Even if your dogs are vaccinated, NO vaccine is 100% effective. Please, be careful. I followed very stringent 'clean up' procedures while I worked for a veterinarian since I raise dogs at home. I was always lucky, but I was also always paranoid. The clothes/shoes I wore at work to treat parvos and possible parvos, distemper, etc were not even brought into my home, they would be washed at work and the shoes bagged and left at work. I couldn't even comfortably leave them in my van since I take my dogs for rides regularly.
Take care!
