    You can post a picture of his belly towards the tail end and we can help point them out to you (if they are there).

    Realistically, the "tram lines" (or "train tracks") are not a guarantee of anything. Both het Pieds and non-het Pieds are capable of showing these same markers. Seeing them would make me feel better about the animal I bought as a Normal het Pied though.

    Yes quarantine. They shouldn't be near each other for about three months. An oops can cost vet bills is the four digit range.
    Honest, I only need one more ...

    That was only the 2nd time they have been close to each other like that. I always take them out and handle them one at a time. I wash my hands before and inbetween each handle too.

    Washing your hands is good. Use a disinfectant on your hands as well. Do not share anything including tools between the two enclosures. Ideally they should not even be in the same room. Reptile metabolisms are very slow. It can take months for an illness to show up. Many collectors have two entirely different environments. One for the permanent collection another for quarantine.

    I use the same spray on my hands that i clean their RUBs out with. Nothing is shared between them. Not even the water i wash their stuff in. They are in seperate rooms, but i'm hoping to covert a cupboard into a reptile den.

    Sounds like you are doing the right thing, just don't have them near each other or crawling over the same surfaces.
