Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but my questions are just about adenovirus and yellow fungus in general; at the moment, I don't think either of my chameleons are sick at all.
I babysat a baby bearded dragon for someone a little over a month ago. She had just recently come from a pet store, so I made sure to keep her in a small tank away from all of my reptiles for the few days that I had her. I was also careful about not handling my animals after handling her without washing hands first.
Today, I learned that her owner had taken her to the vet and she was positive for adenovirus AND yellow fungus. I haven't noticed any fungus spots or adenovirus symptoms for any of my reptiles, but I'll be looking them all over very thoroughly again just to be safe.
For anyone with experience with either of these things, I would really like to know if it's possible that my animals have contracted either of these and have not yet begun to show symptoms?
Would they be showing symptoms already if they had adenovirus or yellow fungus, or are they in the clear since it's been a month since I even had the sick animal in my house? I know yellow fungus is very contagious, but is adenovirus very contagious too?
I have two panther chameleons, two blue tongue skinks, and one leopard gecko. I'm mostly just looking for answers about the panther chameleons since that's what this website is all about, but if anyone knows about BTS or leopard gecko risks for adenovirus and yellow fungus, I welcome that advice as well!
