:( they can carry salmonella... I had bearded dragons, a Mali uromastyx, an Asian water monitor, a savannah monitor, 2 tegus, 3 tokay geckos, 2 pac man frogs and 2 leopard geckos and a pueblan milk snake. I also had a sulcotta tortoise who can carry giardia. I got rid of all of them because of the risk except the PAC man frogs because you don't really handle them. USA really up to you but if you have as many as I did, I would atleast down size.
