Racks and Cats

Sounds like a good plan. Just keep it stable like that for 3 months. I've got 2 snakes ready to go into my rack that I'm building this weekend. And one that has to wait another 2 months. After that it should be smooth sailing and I'll have my rack and 2 complete setups for quarantining new additions.

Any suggestions for reasonable quarantine setups without building a whole new rack? I wasn't planning on keeping these glass tank setups as they're such a PITA to maintain.

I don't know what to tell you other than to have class cages or pvc style across from your rack. I've got a 10 gal/20 gal long/ and a Large/Wide Exo Terra so I can house just about anything under 8 feet.

Glass tanks make very good quarantine as they are so easy to completely clean and disinfect. Racks would be the most difficult as they are the hardest to fully clean and disinfect. Ideally the quarantine space would be separate from each other and with some physical distance and each having its own tools and materials. I would also isolate each tank with a tray of diatomaceous earth under it. This prevents mites (if any) from entering and leaving isolating each from parasitic vectors. Racks basically are all or nothing if one has mites they all do. Mites are a good guess for many diseases transmission.
