HOW IMPORTANT IS IT REALLY TO WASH YOUR HANDS ALL TIME WITH BEARDED DRAGONS?

QUESTION:

i read that you should watch your hands before and after touching them because they may carry salmonella, or anything else, how true is that? if you own a beardie, how often do you wash your hands when handling them?

JOHNNYDOLLAR ANSWERS:

I would say this isn't important at all. In fact, washing your hands with bearded dragons is quite unproductive. They have all sorts of diseases that you can get from them, i.e. AIDS (and not the good kind). I know different tribes have different cultures, but this is just a little out there buddy. Try water. It's cheap, clean, and efficient. You can also try adding soap or different grits of sandpaper. Experiment until you get the one you like.
