Lizard Hand-me-downs

[ParkerandMe]

I have an adolescent beardie, and lately he's been growing out of, well, everything. He just outgrew a small half log hidey hole which I replaced with a large fake rock cave. Anyway, my brother has a baby crested gecko and the hidey hole fits perfectly into its cage. However, my bearded dragon carries Adenovirus. It is not active inside of him (he started showing symptoms when I first brought him home in August and stopped about a month later), but I don't know if its still transmittable to my brother's gecko. I washed off the hidey hole very well, and my own lizard hasn't used it in several weeks, but I don't know if its safe to put in my brother's lizard's cage. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm just curious- what is adenovirus? I've never heard of it! As for whether or not the things would be safe, I'm honestly not sure. Hopefully someone else will be able to help with that though!
