Also can they do fecal test's for Amphibians?

PALS is attached to the back of my vets (Birch Heath, Cheshire: brilliant vets) and I used them to test my whole collection when I unfortunately had a crypto outbreak, I tested around 30 animals in total and they do a discount on multiples, on top of being very cheap. the test results came back really soon and in a really clear format. Glad this info was made available.

for my first test would you reccommend do a full parisite test or just a feacal screen and also if you find out that your pets have parasites how do you get medication

Very helpful people. Just requested me self a plastic pot to scoop up me reps pooh for a test. Also they send you a prepaid envelope as well.

Me thinks i shall get into the habit of randomly selecting one of me reps on a rolling three monthly basis for a parasiteology test. In fact sounds like a good selling point to lever when selling me reps prodigy. i.e. pinning results to me table at shows.

If you go to their pdf price-list then scroll down to Microbiology (page 17 I think) you'll find not only the two main types of Reptile Feaces (£27.50 & £35.50) test they do but near the bottom is ~
Faecal Screen (Faeces) £ 10.00
Slide Examination – Direct and Salt Flotation

This is great!. Had my leo checked. But going to do for my vittikins and any new reps when I get them.

On the topic of redgex question. Maybe you could have a application form?. So if anyone wants to buy a reptile, they can enter full details, morph And if they want the option of Faecal or the crypto check?.

Just to get this straight, is the £10 test checking for only parasites where as the £27 or whatever it is test, checking for diseases as well?

I'm going to get a group of stenos next year, they might well be WC(pet shop). Now since they'd have been in the same confines one imagines that if one was sick(especially say crypto) they'll all come down with it.

When you have a communal set-up is it best to separate them all into containers until they poo? I didn't think they did it as often as we do and since I want a group of 4-6 it's going to be impossible to know whose poo is whose in the viv.

What do you think the best course of action is? Collect say 6 samples, hope their from different stenos or at least the majority, and test them? Then what test, do the £27 or so on all or would the £10 be adequate? Maybe they do deals on multiples.
