My little friend has just passed, I can't describe how sad I'm feeling right now.

Was the only baby living with me (no other pets of any kind), but anyways after realizing it was aw I was very careful with keeping anything as clean and separated as possible.I'm so sorry for your loss, I know this is an extremely hard time for you. In my opinion, you can do the following:
Burn any and all substrate this tort was on.
Perform a thorough cleaning of the enclosure and anything that may have come in physical contact with the tort. Do you have any other reptiles and if so have you been washing your hands after touching the sick tort?
Can you provide the name of the seller you purchased this baby from?
I'd make a call to that pet store and let them know about what happened. AW is highly contagious so it could spread to the other reptiles at the store.Was the only baby living with me (no other pets of any kind), but anyways after realizing it was aw I was very careful with keeping anything as clean and separated as possible.
Sure, got him from "granero Los potrillos" a local petstore in Tijuana, the law is not clear about exotic pets in many aspects so I decided to go to an "official" store instead of a local bredder probably a wrong decision.
Already told them, but they just keep the position of "we have some siblings, and still good so probably you did something wrong"I'd make a call to that pet store and let them know about what happened. AW is highly contagious so it could spread to the other reptiles at the store.

sadly even then you have to be careful. ill leave it at that.....Sorry to hear of your lost, it's pretty bad when other people worry more about making a few dollars, then the welfare of the animals they are selling. You tried to inform them of the possibility of the decease spreading. Give it sometime and try again, maybe you can get one from a breeder off this site. Good Luck!
Go take pictures of the siblings…it’s very likely many of the reptiles in that store have it.Already told them, but they just keep the position of "we have some siblings, and still good so probably you did something wrong"
Seems like they tought I was trying to blame them or something.
Doesn't look interested into protect the other babies or Even check them for any symptoms.
Update: I was trying to get the information about how they got them but they can't share it apparentely.
