    Washing hands with anti-bacterial soap is probably a lot more effective, but using hand sanitizer is better than nothing. I know that most vendors I've talked to at reptile shows keep a bottle of hand sanitizer on their table and ask customers to use it before handling their stock...

    To me it is a sequence issue. If you have a healthy collection I'd do anything with the addition last, and in that case a waterless sanitize is likely enough, the other way around personally I do a good hand wash.

    I get the testing it isn't cheap. The fecal isn't super expensive and likely more valuable as a test. IBD testing is new and the value of it is somewhat debatable.

    Generally you want to put your new additions in an entirely different room than your collection.
