I think you can get your reps tested for it though if you are really worried about it I think it takes a more specific fecal exam I think its the pals £35 reptile test but you would have to check with them. : victory:

to be honest though... loads of people on here have beardies and i have never heard anyone complain about getting it... as long as u are hygienic enough its fine

Just keep a bottle of hand sanitizer gel next to the viv and use it after every time you do any thing with the viv or the beardie its not expensive and saves the risk:whistling2:

i have three beardies and yh they do have samonella as long as you wash your hands after handling the your be fine, so make sure you wash them before u eat or put hands near mouth

as above i use the gel everytime i touch my beardie and as my little daughter has an obsession with using the hand sanitiser it encourages her to hold my beardie
