    I would not pair her until I know shes got a clean bill of health. You dont want her getting your collection sick, esp if shes coming from Africa
    DC Reptiles.com coming soon....

    As I understand it, newly imported girls rarely "go" right away anyhow. It can take them a year or more to settle into captivity enough to be comfortable mating. Plus, of course, as already mentioned, QT and making sure she is completely free of any parasites is a must before introducing her to the rest of your collection.
