Question about different species
Ok so as some of you know i Picked up a RTB yesterday... still no name for her and she is in day 2 of her 90 day quarantine.
What i want ot know is once she passes the health check and i get her a trip to the vet. is it ok for me and my girlfriend to handle My BP and the RTB at the same time in the same general area? or are the prone to conflict?
Also its correct and needed practice to wash my hands after i touch my RTB because she is in quarantine and i don't want to pass something on the the BP correct?

Wash your hand change your clothes, shower if you can, after handling your QT snake. Boas are known carries of IBD and you don't want to be spreading that kind of love around.
After QT is up, I don't see the problem with having them out at the same time. I wouldn't let them crawl all over eachother, but being close by shouldn't be a problem. Not 100% sure on this one though.

thanks, and yah i did change my cloths too lol i just didnt mention it cuz i didnt want to sound like some paranoid fool. good to know my natural instinct on it was correct. cuz i know how nasty IBD is. As it stands she shows no signs what so ever of it but that does not mean she is not carrying it. I thought she was star gazing at first but turned out she was tracking my temp gun and then took a chomp at it.
