💚 ADOPT CHAMOMILE 💚
Chamomile has no adoption applications, and they’re just waiting for the right family to come along 🥹
- wearsaves.org to adopt.
Chamomile must be adopted to a home without other bearded dragons / agamid lizards, OR goes to a home where other ADV+ reptiles are cared for. Chamomile came from a clutch (of 16) that were exposed to reptile adenovirus. Because they were housed with others before coming into our care, we ran stool testing, managing the group (of 6 that we took in) based on the results.
We received mixed results, containing positive adenovirus. However, since all six were housed together for approximately two months, every baby was exposed to ADV and will need to be managed cautiously.
ADV is most commonly associated with bearded dragons / agamid lizards. These babies should not have contact with other bearded dragons or share enclosures, supplies, feeding tools, or cleaning equipment. Good hygiene and separate equipment are necessary in any reptile household.💚
A home with other reptile species, such as crested geckos, will still be considered, as transmission of bearded dragon ADV to unrelated reptile species is not well established. However, adopters must be comfortable following mindful hygiene practices.
These babies very well may remain completely healthy, but adopters must understand that ADV can sometimes cause illness in actively affected dragons, particularly during periods of stress or weakened immunity. Approx 70-75% of bearded dragons in the pet trade have adenovirus, but it does not actively affect every one of them.
Each baby will be adopted with a sponsored adoption fee, covered by our generous supporters. Applicants should have appropriate bearded dragon experience (or a great willingness to learn), a properly sized enclosure, correct UVB lighting, heating, and veterinary care available when needed.
