    Corn QT

    So we are going to Tinley tomorrow and my wife has always wanted a corn, we have boas now and plan on picking up a couple more tomorrow. My question is can I QT corns with boas or is it like a BP and I need to keep them seperated for QT?

    Thanks for any help

    You should always quarentine new arrivals from your collection, regarldes of they are (or what you have).

    Re: Corn QT

    I would QT the new corn completely separate from your other snakes. For example, what if the new corn had a few snake mites on it that you either missed or couldn't see when you brought him home? Mites could easily spread to the whole collection if the corn isn't in quarantine. So just be safe, and like ssj said, quarantine everything new.

    I think you guys misread the question. I believe he is asking whether or not it's okay to quarantine both boas and corns in the same area or do they need to be separately quarantined?

    I think what they are saying is if the corn is coming from a different source than the boas, then they should not be put together. If the corn has issues and the boas don't then they will all soon have issues (or vice versa)
