I know several of you, like myself, keep more than one cham and are hooked to the point where you most likely will have another new one some time soon. I keep Chams, Snakes, and Beardies, and I have to be very anal about how, when, and where I handle my animals, Not to mention the order in which I work with them. I guess they are all on sort of a Permanent QT, As I always, gutload each chams feeders in seperate washed containers, and they are all fed from their own feeding tray, I wash before after and between handling each one, and they each have there own set of plants...no sharing of anything. I know a lot of hobbyists/breeders, especially in Snakes, who have a very deatiled Quarantine procedure that takes place when they recieve a new animal lasting anywhere from 3 months to a year! I would be curious to hear about anyones QT procedure that takes place when a new cham is recieved. I don't hear to much talk about this in the Cham world. And a question to wrap this up... Are there any contagious forms of Chameleon Illness that can be transmitted through the air? I was just thinking about this and was curious what everyone elses thoughts/practices were. I would imagine that large breeding facilites would have a pretty nice QT routine for there WC's.
