How long should i quarantine a new snake for?

[Ballpython2000]

i have 2 snakes so far and i am getting a male pumpkin pied for £220 which i think is a good deal but i heard about snakes can spread ibd and other diseases so what is the best way to quarantine i have my 2 snakes in my collection rack in my bedroom and then i have another rack down stairs which i will be putting the pumpkin pied in the downstairs rack just dont know what the safest amount of time i should quarantine for and plus the others in my house dont mind snakes but i feel like they wont snakes in the living room constantly lol but i want all snakes to be healthy and disease free.

Here are some pictures of the pumpkin pied by the way:

There's a good thread regarding quarantine on the recent posts (phone won't copy link, soz) but usually around 3 months is the given time. If you add another new snake into the already quarantine section you would then reset the counter for both snakes to 1 day. There was someone mention on it about not moving the qt snake until the 3 months are over & it has fed 4 times .

It is possible to quarantine in the same room, but it is a bit more difficult and risky.

Edit: Such a cute little guy! Congrats
