This is the advice we give to people when they arrive. All torts are kept in the bos they are brought in and the below advice given and the hygiene precautions stated given.
It is your choice however but no worse than going to your GP.
We know we have saved the lives of many torts over the years.
[QUOTE=Box girl;365021]All owners are given a sheet when they arrive explaining what they should and should not do regarding the mixing of torts at an event like this. All helpers use disinfectant and alcohol gel to stop transference of bacteria from one animal to another. We either have a vet in attendance or a specialist reptile nurse. On the rare occasion we see a very ill animal they are immediately referred to a vet.
