Any suggestions ? I've had a BP for 2and a half years, and people in my country don't know anything about reptiles.
So thank you for mentioning that, and helping :)
I didn't practice strict QT when I got my second snake and then read about QT procedures so I'm there with you. I think it's something any snake owner needs to know, even if they don't plan on getting another snake (which never happens, you can't stop at one) lol. I would just keep an eye on the two for anything out of the ordinary (displaying off behavior or body movements, saliva around the mouth, mites, etc) and keep them separate for at least three months (some like to QT for 6 months to a year, so it's preference I believe). I personally do 3 months with the QT snakes in a whole separate bedroom from the established guys and the QT guys have their own cleaning and feeding tools so nothing is interchangeable between the two groups.
Your boa's tail is stunning, I'm sure it will get even better with age.
