It's funny, I keep hearing that lately but I handled tons of snakes and turtles and the occasional lizard all throughout my childhood and didn't pay any attention to washing my hands and I definitely had them near or on my face on plenty of occasions), and I never got sick once. Of all the people in my adult life I've met who have cold-blooded pets (usually turtles), only one of them paid any attention to the potential for getting sick, yet none of them ever did. At this point I'm skeptical that anyone without a seriously compromised immune system is likely to get sick from one of these guys.

+stars, because this video is great.

You justify kissing a lizard however you want, pal.

Same here, never took ill once despite a youth filled with capturing lesser creatures.
I never kissed any of them, though Im pretty sure I made my sister kiss one on a few occasions.
