Hello everyone,
I adopted a beardie with yellow fungus (YF) in October of 2019. He unfortunately lost his battle a month ago today. I would love to be able to have another beardie but I know how contagious YF is and the last thing I want is to make another beardie go through what my baby went through. I read somewhere online that YF spores can stick around for six months - but I am also having a hard time finding any information on YF on the Internet. I let my beardie with YF run around my room, so basically everything I have he has touched. I do not know how to go about cleaning carpet, or anything in my room for a matter of fact. How can I disinfect properly to ensure another dragon does not get yellow fungus? Or is there a certain amount of time I need to wait to ensure all the spores are gone? If I have to wait, to totally fine, I just want to be 110% sure that there is no possibility of another beardie getting YF from my setup/household. I would greatly appreciate any information - and if anyone has any websites or sources with information on cleaning after yellow fungus that would be amazing as well.
Thank you in advance,
Alexa
