you should have a female fixed as well as when they are on heat they vocalize like crazy. you should do it around 5 months,because when they start putting on fat its a more difficult and risky procedure. house training isn't hard because they exremely intelligent. only use positive reinforcement, ot...

i would say that the salmonella scare with reptiles is just animal welfare agencies inflating the risk to discourage the public from keeping reptiles.
birds are more of a risk, for diseases other than salmonella too. and also a young cat in the house is a risk for toxoplasma.

i'l guess blood reds?
