Unless you purchased her from a friend and know how she was kept and saw her daily and know her health etc. She should be quarantined!!! Its a must to insure the safety of your other snake. I always quarantine mine nothing less than 90 days, some people only do 60 days.
You will still be in the time frame for breeding, and you won't be taking any health risks for either of your snakes. Just a thought since I don't have the info :confused:

Well at first for a bit they were together because I had some adjustments to do on my rack. But yes I do quarantine. It was very very temporary and am now keeping an eye on both of them make sure nothing happens. From what I have noticed she is very healthy and weighing in at 1881 empty

I normally always do quarantine, was a minor exception and focusing on both the snakes, she will be quarantined for 60-90 days. And I am keeping close eye on both of them Just in case.

Glad to hear it, yeah I didn't know if you did or not. I didn't have any info. I hope your project goes really well. I love to read how well peoples projects go, I hope to be one of them.

( I know not quarantining her from start was bad of me but it wasn't very long and like I said I am keeping an eye on both.)
I am sure you will have great success I hope to see pics of eggs and babies from you!
And thanks for the good lucks :)

Quarantine is a must, checking their poop is a must! watching and listening for signs of upper respiratory and any discoloration of the mouth for any mouth rot or any type of parasites or mites etc. So much to look for in that time frame but well worth the quarantine, better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you, I also have a VERY nice pastel female that I ooooh so wish was up to weight this season but she's not quite up to weight yet :(. I will be breeding her to this male spider of mine to oh he's gonna be such a busy lil one. But I do have some ideas, just found a friend of mine that has a well I'm not gonna spoil it cause it might not happen, but might have a nice male to add to my collection and if it happens. BOY will everything change :D.
When you power feed how often do you feed? Just curious, I feed every 7 days, thats my power feed and they poop every 2 to 3 days. The cleaning is endless with these balls gotta love that trait. Check out the pictures of my pastel she is a knock out!
Good luck with your plans!! :gj: :) :banana:
