Adeno is very contagious so if you have a positive, that dragon needs to be in a separate room from the others and you have to make sure not to cross contaminate. Anything the positive dragon touches must not be allowed around the other dragon. This includes any feeders the sick dragon had in its cage/feeding area and didn't eat. I'd keep its feeders separate.
Change you clothes after handling the positive one, wash your hands and don't use the same tub for bathing the different dragons. I also would designate a separate are for the positive dragon to run around in, you don't want it to have free reign of the house.
I'm not sure what cleaners will kill the virus, pretty sure bleach won't do the trick. If you suspect your dragon has adeno, you really need to get it tested. Just because one dragon from BB has adeno, doesn't mean every sick one from them does.

Provided a negative dragon is not licking a positive dragons excrement, then the chances of the virus being spread are low. It is not airbourne therefore I do not believe there is a need to go so far as to move positive dragons to a separate room. I have spoken to several people who have both positive and negative dragons and they all seem to confirm this as being correct.

I disagree with this. Back in the day when people talked about adeno, they stated that just holding a positive one contaminated a negative one. Go back and read posts and threads from 2005 on various sites. You will get a wealth of information people shared back then.
BTW, steaming kills coccidia and parasites but not adeno per my vet.
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, bloodbank has some of the worst breeding practices I've ever run into. Personally, you couldn't give me one of their dragons for free. It's unfortunate, because they have a lot of nice-looking dragons.silverado991":1vdx1awz said:funny to see this post with NEGATIVE reviews of bloodbank i thought i was crazy when i had a sick dragon from bloodbank but now my issues are confirmed

Thats the problem. Unless you disinfect the cage every time your positive dragon goes poo, it will eventually get the virus on its feet which can be transferred to your clothing or floor where the negative dragon could pick it up.
By keeping the dragons in separate rooms, there is less of a chance that the owner might make a mistake and use something from the positive dragons cage, in the negative dragons cage.
