From everything that I've read and every authority that I've spoken with, roughly 97% of igs DO carry salmonella and the other 3% aren't talking. Since testing an ig for salmonella is not reliable ASSUME that it DOES carry salmonella. The best way to make sure that exposure is kept to a minimum is to keep the ig and the enclosure clean and constantly wash hands after handling. Don't kiss or let your son kiss the ig or eat without washing hands first. Keeping things clean is the best way to minimize exposure. Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer next to the enclosure.
