Quarantine Issues

[ddbjdealer]

Ok, I'm getting 4 females from Adam next week. They will be going into my new Boaphile rack. I've also happened to come across a couple of great deals out there that are almost too good to pass up. 5 normal females from a different breeder that I could get around the same time frame (next week), and a 100% het albino female from yet a DIFFERENT breeder, and a male albino from Adam that I probably wouldn't be able to get until a few weeks pass.

Could all of you that have been involved in quarantines in the past lend some kind of advice on what I should house with what, for how long, and yes or no on the separate rooms, etc... (any other issues). Its my thinking that if I get the four girls from Adam established, and get that male Albino (also from same breeder) in the two to three weeks following the girls, then I could put him in the same rack.

I'm a little impatient because I have all this space (six shelves) and only two used up with the four girls. I wouldn't mind buying another rack, but the problem is, I have almost no where to put it other than the same room where my rack is at to begin with.

Thanks all,

OK, I totally missed your question, because I'm raging with jealousy! Both for the new animals and the new rack!!!

However, the link that was provided was a good one that I had saved as well. I'm getting one or two normal females myself in January and I will be quarantining them and hopefully getting a 100% het pied male from Adam in the late spring or early summer.

Anyhow, I'm going to try to stuff this green-eyed monster back inside now. But I want to see pictures of the new ones!!!!

Don't worry Robin, I'll be posting lots of pics on Tuesday when I get 'em. Being that it'll be my only chance to weigh 'em and handle 'em for a week... lol
