Sterile environment

[NinjaDuo]

Do you think by creating such a clean environment that it weakens the geckos immunity?

I realize less germs/bacteria is a good thing.

For example, I hate the flu shot. I personally don't get one. And I feel with the right nutrition my body can fight the flu just fine.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Every time they poop, there is bacteria. And every time you throw crickets in their cages, there are germs. Just us handling them, exposes them to germs. Clean is good...sterile impossible. Just my thoughts

meh, this is kind of a complex topic lol.

I don't think it would weaken their immunity... but see every animal's immune system is different.

I agree.


Some bacteria is good. Us humans need "good" bacteria to survive too. But keeping it completely clean is impossible again you can apply that to using a public bathroom method. Go into a public bathroom, do your deed, wash your hands, walk out grabbing the door handle. but how many people didn't wash their hands before you and just walked out? lol

Yeah this is true, you can keep everything in your life sparkling clean and disinfected but there will always be germs, some are neccesary.

Facts a clean freak like me had to accept, its still good to keep their enclosure as clean as possible.

I don't necessarily mean germ free. I mean more so as a decreased level

Having good husbandry habits will decrease germs but i dont think will affect their immunity at all.
