After a debate with another person, I have decided to come here to ask.

It started with someone wanting to house two male crested geckos together. After the dangers of that were discussed I brought up quarantine, for the simple fact that its ALWAYS necessary.

I told him he'd need an extra setup anyways for a 60 to 90 day quarantine and told him to get a vet check.

Someone said they didn't know where I was getting my info from and that that was extreme.

She said that she only quarantines for a few days, two weeks for a pet store gecko. With a fecal. She has also stated that any illness will show up within 7-10 days.

My understanding is that an illness can show up later under stress, or sub par conditions. There can also be a wrong diagnosis, the fecal may not show anything, then weeks later you end up with something like crypto that won't show up on a normal fecal and doesn't always show its symptoms sometimes for a couple of months. There for 60 to 90 days is not extreme.

How long do you keep your animals in quarantine? Is it safe to say that two weeks, is just NOT long enough?
