sandfire dragon ranch

i found out about a week ago that jojo is positive for adeno virus.today i found out where she came from.for details you can check this link http://www.beardeddragon.org/bjive/v...ic.php?t=50448

Michele,

While I am not trying to discredit your information in any way, and agreeing that it is very possible that your Jojo was born with or contracted Adeno at Sandfire, you have to consider it a distinct possibility that she also could have contracted it at Petco. Knowing what so-called standards Petco has for cleanliness and such with their reptiles, it's not unbelieveable.

Again, knowing as little as we do about this damn virus, it's so difficult to get a straight, definitive answer to anything......and I'm sure if Sandfire were to contact you, that would be their answer.

I'm very sorry you and Jojo have to go through this.

didnt i say that it was a possibility??there is ALWAYS a possibility that things arent what they seem but until sandfire can prove to me that they dont have adeno then i will continue warning people.i am still waiting to hear from them.this petco said that they use one other source but he couldnt even find a file for a delivery from the other company and they keep the paperwork for a year.

Michele, I understand that.....all I'm basically saying is that would probably be the answer you would get from Sandfire.

Since we don't know how long the virus can live in a unoccupied habitat, it is a possibility, though I find it as unlikely as you that it would have been contracted from there.

Sorry, hit "submit" too soon!

Or.....even if it had been a year since they last purchased from another seller, the last dragons they got from them could have passed it on to the next dragons they ordered from Sandfire.....and so on down the line for the last year.

Like I said, all UNLIKELY scenarios. I'm just trying to give you every possibility that may be thrown at you.

cathy,sorry if i came off a little snappy but i just woke up and i havent had my coffee yet,plz forgive me.this is very upsetting to me because this virus is so out of control.i will update if sandfire returns my call.

Believe me Michele, I understand completely......no apologies needed. I've got a pot of coffee ready here if it helps any.

lol,i appreciate that

Thanks for posting Michele. Any word from Sandfire yet?
Jojo will be alright with you. Your a good mom

ty laura!well i just called them again and i am now going to post an update thread.
