Handling beardie while sick?

[broadjay]

Is it safe to handle my beardie if i'm sick? Not like vomiting or anything huge, just a moderate cough, mild nausea and a bad headache for the past couple of days. I would of course wash my hands before and after, if it is safe to handle him at all while sick. Thoughts?

There shouldn't be any reason I'd think not to handle a dragon while ill. Just, as you mentioned, be sure to wash your hands well after as always to not make yourself sicker

Kind of depends on the illness and whether it's bacterial or viral.
Most viruses are species specific...but most bacterial illnesses are not. I would limit handling when your ill.
