[QUOTE="Axil, post: 2021413, member: 117612"] That... is obviously true. I don't know why I got it in my head that an RI in a dragon meant it had to be introduced through the respiratory system. As you mention, this is not true of many RI's that affect humans. Right, I should've been clearer. I wasn't suggesting you had stumbled on some mystical perfect level of ventilation inadvertently. More so that since you had no issues with RI's over a large time period spent with a large number of dragons, and you weren't making a point to increase airflow in your enclosures - It's unlikely increasing airflow would provide much protection. Unless perhaps someone is dealing with some risk factor that is different from your environment. Bioactive setups come to mind. They seem really cool... and really complicated to get right. You make a good point about the challenge the enclosure presents for a viral pathogen. My (limited) understanding is that bacteria and even parasites have a tough time with UV. Back in my fishkeeping days some people were experimenting with running the return lines of their pumps through an intense UV light to sterilize the water of things like ick. I think some companies even sold kit for that purpose. I saw [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnVSNFVNMak&list=PLs_fAG9ufg70b5FBv9y76JmwSnmmO-ku2&index=1']a really interesting video[/URL] on that subject recently. Might be worth a watch if you've got 15 minutes and haven't seen it. Even though I'm sure you're already far more familiar with most of the concepts presented than i was before watching it, it might still be cool to see it in action. While i can't see myself doing anything that complicated in the near, or even midterm future. I have kicked around the idea of getting a couple LED lights on a timer between say 10am-2pm to see how Beebz reacts, and perhaps also enhance my viewing experience as it's a bit darker than i'd like, especially with my enclosure being black PVC.
