    Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I have a normal-male and i just recently got a spider-male. And in a lil' while i plan on getting a pastel-female. that being said, my question is... i am just about finished with my 4 tub rack. and was just wondering if it is ok to keep them all in the same rack.( there all going to be just around 5 months old by time i get the pastel). If you could help I would appreciate it. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

    They should all be fine in the same rack but not in the same tub!

    You need to observe a strict quarantine period first 45/60 days (the more the better) once out of quarantine they can be placed in the same room and same rack.

    If you mean for quarantine, no, in the same rack is not good enough.

    Re: Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm having a hard time understanding what you question is.. Why wouldn't you keep them in the same rack? If they are in separate, appropriately sized tubs, why wouldn't you?

    EDIT: Is this a quarantine question? If so, keeping them in the same rack isn't good enough..

    I'll assume you're quarantining your normal male and your spider male first. Then, once you get a female pastel, you need to quarantine her as well.

    With those assumptions made, you can have each snake in its own separate tub AFTER quarantine. Enjoy.

    well yea i guess it is a quarantine question. right now i have my two males in the same room. both tubs are pretty close. so i should probably move them to separate rooms huh. and for how long about a month-month 1/2

    Touchy eh? It's a legit question. Maybe it was a mistake, or you really do want to breed?

    The reason the question was asked I'm sure is because the introduction I remember of you was rushing to know how to breed, when you came off as not knowing simple husbandry.

    Things like that stick in the front of my mind. :gj:

    Rocky, I will agree that many of my replies to your posts may seem negative. However, based on your history of posting questions in the wrong section, posting frustrating questions that could have easily been answered with a simple search query, and your complete disregard for proper grammar and punctuation, I felt my question about your post location was rather tame. It's not like you are the new guy around here anymore.

    On to the next item of business; I love it when someone breaks out the "you must not have a life", slam. Not only does it show some real character on your part, but shows a lack of respect for my hobby. Yes, I'm on here A LOT...it's my hobby...it's what I enjoy. Sorry, was that the sound of the wind leaving your sails I just heard?

    And, Dutch. Sorry to disapoint you...I don't always yell and scream. Sometimes speaking softly can be even more effective than hollering;)

    Yes I will admit that they are questions that can be fixed by a simple search. But I really do look, and when I cant find the answer I ask everyone here at bp.net. And as for the grammar, I'm not going for an interview or trying to impress people with my super typing skills. I ask the question and excuse me if I forget a comma, or misspell a word every now and then. I just think it's funny that all you can ever say is "you cant spell, you forgot to put a semi colon when its really supposed to be a comma" But I'll try and use proper punctuation and grammar for now so you won't get your panties in a bunch. Thanks for the tip anyways. And no, the wind s blowing hard as ever. Hows yours going?

    I would like to remind people (not just you) that this is a FORUM and asking questions is what a forum is all about.

    Yes some questions are ask over and over again however for the person who ask this is often the first time they ask, and while some people like to find answers on their own using the search function, other like to have that special one on one attention (nothing wrong with that either).

    If someone does not feel like answering the same question again for the 10 times it is ok too I understand that, after almost 3 years here I cannot count how many times I have answered the same question over and over again, however if I do not feel like it rather than get mad I just move on the next thread and let someone else answer.

    As his better half, fellow hobbyist and someone who has known him for over 18 years - I can attest to the fact that bp.net does not pay him and he does have a life. In fact, his life has been quit fascinating and most people will never experience what he has in the defense of our nation. He has the Bronze Star and Purple Heart to prove it. He won't like the fact that I mentioned his medals, but I can take the heat. :salute:
