Insect Direct Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yeah sorted, now the hard bit. Do I get Komodo's or crocs. Im sure either should be good for a novice like myself :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Send it down here. It might stop some of the neighbourhood cats doing their thing on our garden (permanently?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoticReptilesNZ Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 done recently by one of our more learned forum members some of our reptile members chose to take part in the study Yup, I found that, overall, exotic reptiles in NZ had higher rates of Salmonella than natives, but rates were still heaps lower than overseas. As Alan mentioned, beardies tested positive more often than other species. I've recently handed in my PhD thesis (for those of you who don't know, it involves conducting establishment risk assessments for commonly traded exotic reptiles in NZ) and it is currently under review. Once that's sorted, I'll happily send copies to anyone that is interested. In the meantime, I happen to be in Christchurch for about a week. Would anyone be keen to get together?

Filling gaps in research is extremely important when it comes to risk assessments made by the decision makers.
