My sister in law freaked out when I told her we got a beardie because of my two year old daughter. She said her kids doctor told her never to get a lizard when you have kids. I've researched as to why this is bad and I can't find anything about beardies being bad for kids? I know they carry salmonella but as long as I wash her hands and she doesn't lick the dragon or eat the poop I don't have to worry right?
