    Question After quarantine...

    After I quarantine my new sd retic, would it be a bad idea to keep her in the same room as my bps? I'm just overly cautious about things like this, and wanted to get opinions before I go ahead and move her into the snake room after quarantine time is up. If I have to keep her separate, it's no biggie, just being Over-McCautios-Paranoid-Pants.

    I keep boas, pythons, and geckos all in the same cage/rack stack and have no problems. After quarantine it will be fine.

    I agree with first post, as long as it's quarantined for 3-6 months before putting it with your established collection you will be just fine.

    Re: After quarantine...

    I probably would not keep geckos and pythons in the same rack, and I probably would keep boas in a completely separate room! I'm paranoid about IBD. But pythons and pythons I wouldn't worry after quarantine, at least not about diseases.

    You might want to keep an eye on the ball pythons and see if they act stressed. (But my bps have learned to ignore my dogs, so I imagine they could learn to ignore a retic.)
