Re: First BIG ball python
**facepalm**
So much for quarantine.
She looks good but please get into the habit of being suspicious and quarantining (sp?) all new animals away from your established collection for 30-90 days.
Suppose he had a lot of pythons but only has this one left because the others died of some horrible disease? Suppose the first sign of this is sudden weight loss - say a kilo in a couple of months and loss of appetite?
Not everyone is trustworthy enough to tell you this.
In these worst case scenarios you would have just put about $700 worth of animals in immediate danger of infection and, since they are breeding males, they will likely be exposed to most of your breeding females - which would then probably be exposed to your other breeding males and so on.
By the time you saw a problem with the first girl most of your adult snakes could have been compromised.
It's just not worth the risk and gets less worth it as your collection grows.

Re: First BIG ball python
Agreed, 30-60 day Quarantine is a MUST every time a new snake comes in.
Losing your collection to one normal female no matter how big she is would suck

Re: First BIG ball python
Though I havnt had any situation where I have had to quarentine yet, I am going to agree, Why compromise the health of your whole collection for one snake that is amazing because she is huge. I would say at least get her bin somewhere safe for the next month or so just to make sure nothing happens.

Re: First BIG ball python
Sounds like the OP was stating she had locked with the males prior to sale. Don't see where he did not QT? Nice pick ups either way.

Re: First BIG ball python
Sorry for the confusion guys. Brunoheart is correct I have not bred her (I don't even own a male yet)she was bred from the seller prior to the sale. She isn't in the rack with the rest of my snakes.
