I have been using hand sanitizer ever since getting my first beardie and have never had any issues.First let me say that the chances of actually getting slamonella from a beardie is slim to none unless you start licking one :wink: With that said it still is the smart choice to sanitize before and after handling for both the safety of you and the beardie.The only thing I recommend is that you make sure to allow the sanitizer to dry on your hands before handling your beardie.

Really? I thought they were covered in a very thick layer of salmonella.... but anyways, I try not to get my human germs all over my BP, but it's going to be even more important now that I will have another reptile.
No they really are not.The salmonella is found in their bodily fluids like saliva or poop.Unless your beardie is rolling in its own poop or licking you constantly then with healthy sanitary practices the chances of contracting it are very very slim.Actually you have a better chance of getting it from a spinach salad :wink:

Yeah I don't like it...makes my hand smell like alcohol.
I am a very immune person I hardly get sick unless from a cold.
Only times I wash my hands when going from my dragon to my snake as my snake tends to eat lizards(kingsnake, I don't feed it lizards) so yeah Don't want to get bitten.
