Aiko Reptile Bearded Dragon Durham, NC

Intake date: 10/4/23
Status: Available

Aiko is a juvenile bearded dragon who came from a mass neglect case. He has an excellent appetite and has grown quickly! Aiko is a little nervous with being handled, but with patience and snacks he should definitely come around. His adoption fee is $60.

We are assuming that all of the bearded dragons from this breeder are positive for atadenovirus. We tested a cohort and about half were positive, and with the high prevalence of false negatives it is likely that all are positive. Atadenovirus is really only dangerous to baby bearded dragons, and it is extremely common in both captive and wild bearded dragons. Adult bearded dragons infected with atadenovirus are often completely asymptomatic, or they may be more susceptible to parasites. We do test and treat all of our bearded dragons for parasites. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions about ADV.
