    Quarantine

    I hate to bother everyone again but I do have one more question. I already owned one bearded dragon and one ball python and this weekend I purchased two new young ball pythons I bought three PVC cages. I need four but he only had three left. My question is I did not do any type of quarantine I have one of the new babies in my old ball python tank and I have one of the new babies in the PVC cage and then I put my one year old ball python in the PVC cage and the dragon in a PVC cage. I never even thought about quarantine. I do however sanitize my hands before holding each of them but I’m concerned now that that’s not enough. The cages are all stacked on top of each other. What do I do now?
    Thanks,

    I am not an expert, but at this point, I'm not really sure what can be done as far as lack of quarantine since you've already got them all mixed up and mixed together. Did you at least sanitize the tanks/tubs?

    The bigger issue I'm seeing is husbandry. How are you controling temperatures and humidity in PVC tubs that are stacked on top of one another? Are they in a rack of some sort? Also, your bearded dragon needs UVB light...not sure if it's good to have him mixed in with the balls.

    I'm sure one of the more experienced members will address all of your issues better than I did.

    Nothing to do now but hope there is nothing wrong with your new ones.
    Usually in ideal circumstances you would at the least have them in different rooms for at the least 6 months.
    If its someone I have never dealt with its 12 months.

    Re: Quarantine

    My New cages came pre wired so I have uvb and heat lamp for the dragon and for the balls they have heat and I have on thermostats. Temps are good. I did clean the cages first. I’m just now concerned with something I read that is 100 percent fatal. Waste disease? I did my research too late....will not make mistake again.
