    Box O' Balls

    I was cleaning and re-arranging some tubs and I snapped this pic of the "holding cell". All 3 boys and 2 girls.




    Also caught Kilo mid shed earlier in the day:

    Jinx, you can feel free to wrap up that box with a couple of heat packs and send it my way. I'll be happy to keep an eye on them for you

    That's a sweet shot and I really admire your collection growth and choices so far. But all those snakes are new and from different people. That's a terrible idea quarantine wise to throw them together like that. Just a word of warning to be careful because it only takes one time and all that hard work, money, and beauty is lost.

    Regards,

    They are newish and are all in close proximity anyway. All are from reputable sources with ZERO signs of issue, and well as no issues in the collections they came from. The newest one is not in the box. She was separated intentionally. I get your concern and it is noted. I guess I should have known I would get preached to for the pic. I believe in quarantine, but also think it gets taken a bit far. Animals are much more hardy than they are given credit for.

    If I am wrong, I will eat my words.

    Nice pic! I love your BEL.

    I think that if you buy from a reputable breeder you shouldnt have to worry about quarintine as much. Im not saying i dont do it but i only have one rack so the most i can do is make sure they stay seperated for 3 months and ive never had a problem... knock on wood

    Either way, this was not intended to be a quarantine conversation. I am a human medical professional and will happily discuss risk analysis with anyone off line.
