Qt

Sorry I didn't want to come off as rude in any way, I felt your original post was putting it in a way as to what would be easier for you despite the health of your animals. So again sorry for any miss understanding but yes three months is what i have learned to be recommended but reading other posts I'm wondering if a longer time would be better.

Thanks. It's okay. I just don't want people thinking I don't care for my animals and that's how it came off to me as. I love my animals and if three months is minimum then it'll be three months because that seems to be the general consensus.

Yep like I say go with what you feels right 3 months 3 days 3 years its Internet bro we can't effect your life too much :) I'm sure you take fine care of your critters. When OT anything I like making sure it's ok an not gonna harm anything else since like I said vet is expensive so why pay for many when you can limit the damage to one should a problem arise

I see you're point. Space is very limited and I figured it was a longshot but i thought it was worth asking. I'll just have to make it work!

Ya space is a short here too so I have my snake/rat room and my qt set up is going in living room with back up two tubs in bedroom haha

I think I'm gonna have to manage to squeeze the qt into the bathroom haha

Sometimes people come off a little harsh. I think a Qt is just a given, the length is up for debate. Most peolple do stay around the 60 to 90 day mark. Most people with larger collections using racks it doesn't take up much room to set up a good Qt rack, but space is definately an issue. My wife loves our Bp's but she even bust on me about the zoo every once in awhile lol. Basically it's your call and I'm sure you will be fine.

Qt is a personal choice. There is no quarantine police that will come knocking on your door.

There was actually just a thread about at that had some good responses, but I will reiterate that here.

The people who are doing strict quarantine for 3+ months are the people who are trying to prevent a collection killing illness from spreading. There are quite a few people who don't have immaculate quarantine procedures and that's okay. What I am looking for during at is stuff that shows up in the short term because the fact of the matter is, if a terrible disease or virus got into my home, my qt wouldn't likely stop it. So instead I quarantine for things I can sew and easily treat. Parasites, mites, bad sheds, respiratory infections.. those kind of "common" problems.

Quarantine as long as you want or until you feel the snake is healthy enough to be around your other animals.
