    QT advice for the same room >
    I only have one room where I'm able to keep snakes, it's a fairly large room, it will be about 15 feet between the animals. I'll follow QT protocol as best I can. Can I make this work or is it a horrible idea ?

    It's not the BEST, but if it is all you can do then it will have to do.

    What are you going to be doing, aside from keeping them separate?

    Not a good idea at all BUT its your gamble.

    Is this in response to the green "poop" that you saw (that's likely a green urate)? Are you looking to QT just because of that, or is there another reason (new addition, additional symptoms, etc)?

    This will be for a new addition.

    Disposable water dishes and substrate, to be immediately put outside after use, no cross contamination (I.E no handling the QT animal and then anything from the established collection without a shower and change of clothes), keeping handling of the QT animal to the minimal until it clears at least a 90 day qt period. I don't use feeding tongs, so separate feeding days.

    Anything else I should do besides these things ?

    Do you have a friend with no other herps who wouldn't mind taking care of it at their place for 90 days?

    I do not. I will probably be able to swing another room in the basement for 3 months, and then keep them on the other side of the room for another 3 months. I realize how important quarantine process are and will implement them as best as I can with the space I have.

    This would be my worst case option, I could move my rack to the other side of the room and put the new animals tub in the closet.
