Hi Girls, I don't know if any of you also use I-am-pregnant.com as well as here, but I found this link to a very heart wrenching story called Elijah's Story. It's about a family who owned a lizard and wasn't aware of the effects they can have on a new born baby. I had no idea they were so dangerous till reading this, so i thought maybe I could enlighten some other people too. If you've already seen this, thanks for reading anyway.

Yes it was very sad. Sometimes i think people sue companies for the wrong reasons and with only money in mind, but I think this is one occasion where I hope they did sue and got some money to help ease the stress of having to raise a child that needs as much care as Elijah does.
As far as i know if ever u buy any reptile (in this country) the shop really make sure u know what ur doing as there not the easiest creature to look after. my neighbour had a huge iguana and a bearded dragon, but i thought it was common knowlege they carried samonella. and its very very important to keep surfaces very clean in any room the lizard goes and especially after touching them. i think if any person owns any exotic animal, they should really look into how to look after the animal etc. i do feel sorry for the family but im very suprised they were not aware of this risk
