I own a bearded dragon (lizard) and was wondering if it is safe to have around my pregnancy?

Question

pregnancy?" />

Answer

Unless he lives in the wild and swings by sometimes I dont see how thatd be an issue at all. Dont lick him. Haha

Answer

Replyiles carry the risk of transmitting salmonella, however it's likely safe. I have handled my lizard a few times this pregnancy 🤷‍♀️ I just try not to unless I have to. Better safe than sorry.

Answer

I had 4 leopard geckos while pregnant. I just washed my hands after touching them or the cage. No issues.

Answer

Just be sure to wash your hands after handling him.

Answer

I don’t know anything about reptiles but I feel like that would be a better question for your doctor and/or veterinarian.

Answer

I had 3 bearded dragons and a gecko I am the only one that does anything and everything for them. I have had reptiles my entire life and i have 2 healthy children and a new baby boy due in June. As long as you have healthy husbandry habits and wash you hands before and after you handle them( you should always even when not pregnant) you should be fine.
