Paid off!

So I just made my last payment to JD Constriction for my newest babies! I’m super excited to get them here. What do I need to do to prep for quarantine? Separate tubs in a different room from my others for 60 days?

Congrats! I'll let the experts answer.:bow:

Separate tubs, separate rooms. 90 days would be better. Separate tools, bowls, everything. Change and shower between handling new stock and existing is best practice. No cross-contamination.

Congratulations! I'll add- always work your new snakes last, after doing all that's needed with your original animals. And NEVER re-offer un-eaten food from
the new snakes to any others...:O (believe it or not, people have done exactly that)

Also if possible it's a good idea to pretreat the new snake setups prior to arrival and the new snakes when they arrive. Ie, PAM the quarantine enclosures several days in advance and use Natural Chemistry Reptile Spray on the snakes when you get them (most commonly recommended method). This is just in case they arrive with any critters hitching a ride.

You're most welcome...we appreciate those who not only ask good questions but come here to actually put what they learn into action, & eventually go on
to share what they learned with other new members. This is sort of a "hand-me-down" hobby...:D

I’m leaving on Jan 5th to go on a week long cruise. How much you want to bet that he wants to ship that week? Lol

Plan ahead, he could ship it to one of your Cruise's ship ports. Win/Win :gj:
