First off, Hi everyone!

I'm brand new to ball pythons...I purchased my first normal female ball about a month ago. She's eating extremely well, very friendly, seems to be healthy, etc.

Here's where I made my mistake: Knowing little to nothing about ball pythons, I went to my local reptile show today and purchased another. A normal male, I was told he was HET for something, but I don't even remember what. I came home and stupidly put him directly in the tank with my female, not quarantining him for even a day. I only own one tank, a 28 gallon aquarium I've converted into a nice little snake habitat. I get paid on Wednesday, and I will immediately rush out after work and get a second enclosure for this new snake.

Now for my question...did I just possibly kill both snakes by not quarantining the male? What measures can I take now to remedy this? I can't believe I even thought I could house two snakes together, let alone not quarantine them. Will they be okay until Wednesday, or should I put the male in a tupperware until then? Please, no hate. I feel bad enough about this as is, I'm just trying to fix the situation.
