Hey guys...quick question I thought of in regards to quarantining a new addition.
This question may be directed more towards those with a little more experience.
If you buy or trade snakes with someone with an excellent reputation, do you carry out the quarantine even though you know the snake you obtain is a very healthy snake?
for instance, if I buy a snake from 8 ball or NERD...i know they wouldn't send me a sick snake. what would be the point in quarantine?
Nate,i was told even if you get a snake from God you follow proper Quarantine rules to the T.

What if you have more than one new snake at a time? They need to be quarantined from each other as well, right?

That's what I'd do just to be sure.

Unless you buy from the same source. If you were to buy from separate sources, then you could consider staggering your purchases (or at least the ship date) until the first group had cleared quarantine.

No each one in its own enclosure in your Quarantine room.
