My 5 year old was diagnosed with adenovirus infection. (I think adenovirus 7, specifically) and is on day three, she's been sick since Sunday. And I'm worried Toothless can get it. Can it be passed.? I'm finding conflicting information online. She's the only one in the house who's had symptoms, but you know how stuff like that works. He isn't showing any symptoms, either. Aside from being weird and staring at the tank background nose pressed against the glass.

If it can be, what can I do to lower the chance of him getting it.?

Yes it is extremely contagious as far as i know. Absolutely quarantine the sick one, wash your hands everytime you handle that on or any if its stuff. If you have it out change clothing before you handle Toothless. Sanitize, sanitize, sanitize. Treat it like covid or hiv in people.

Really because I came across an article that said humans get a novel strain while animals get a different one.? Do you happen to know of any links or articles.?

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
