    Question Fecal Sample Testing

    Hi all,

    I had a couple geckos pass recently from cryptosporidium, and I'm worried that it may have passed to my snake and new crested gecko. They don't have any symptoms and are doing well, but I'd rather be safe than sorry and get fecals done on them. Unfortunately I don't have many reptile vets in my area, and the ones that I have aren't accepting new patients. Are there any good companies/labs I could send fecals to on my own? Thanks in advance!
