Perfect Pet Fecal Exame
Crypto/Chytrid Test
I have test kits coming for all of my salamanders (there is a organization giving away free test kits right now due to everything happening over in Europe) and had the local vet do fecals.
I'm having fecals rerun on all my snakes next as a routine precaution, though I think it's unlikely anything will be found. However, I am thinking about doing a routine screening of all new stock that comes in using the above resources and obviously going to the vet if anything comes back positive while they are still in quarantine.
I began this research because I am wondering what resources could be given out that would result in more treatment of disease and parasites. Obviously, some people are scum and will intentionally sell diseased stock, but I am thinking more in terms of the everyday herper. Obviously, nothing can replace the value of a qualified herp vet but we all know the animals aren't seeing them as often as they should and I would venture to guess a large percentage, maybe the majority, never get screened or fecals done at all under the current system.
