Quarantining a CB hatchling from a well-reputed breeder?
Earlier this year I bought a captive-bred axanthic ball python from a well-reputed breeder, and asked I him to hang onto her for an extra week so I could clear out my quarantine area before she arrives. He was surprised (and maybe a little insulted?) that I would bother quarantining a CB hatchling, and took the proverbial out of me for the rest of the phone conversation.
Of course I laughed along and admitted I was totally neurotic about IBD. And then went and PAM-ed the quarantine tank for good measure.
(I bet you didn't know we had that smiley? No, you didn't.)

Re: Quarantining a CB hatchling from a well-reputed breeder?
Well I guess some people would be offended
I can tell you that no matter who I get a snake from, from well known breeders to friends all the snakes are quarantined for 60 days and I expect people I sell to or do loan with to do the same.
It's nothing personal it's just the way I do it, every incoming snake goes in QT and get the PAM treatment NO EXCEPTION

Doesn't matter how old the snake is or if I'm buying from Joe Schmoe or the Queen of England. New animals are quarantined. Period. Someone questioning my decision to quarantine every snake that enters my collection would make me instantly suspicious of THEIR quarantine practices--and only solidify my decision to quarantine that critter.

Basically, that's why I broke out the PAM at the end of that phone call. Not that the snake had any problems! But still.
I left her in QT for an extra month, too.

Re: Quarantining a CB hatchling from a well-reputed breeder?
I haven't brought in new animals in over a year. Brought home feeder insects and bedding from a show, and all of a sudden, I have mites. The bedding was from a very well known breeder, and the feeders were from a well known local source. Needless to say, I'm rather frustrated, and think you should never waver from your quarantine regimen.
