I know you already returned the snake but in this topic you don't need to be super worried but generally you don't mix other people's reptiles (and new additions) with your. Most likely they are all healthy critters but if one is sick all the rest can get sick. That's why you MIGHT have an issue. It's just safer to not mix them and then there is no chance of issues. From the problems you mentioned about your old snake really the other people would be the ones that would have to worry having their most likely healthy snakes around yours which sounded like it had a lot of health issues.

Yeah, I understand the risks involved now. I'm pretty sure everything is ok. There was no 'mixing'. Lots of washing hands and cleanup with Lysol. Not to mention I sterilized everything in the viv as well before my new girl moved in.
