Yeah, i mean you should quarantine everything but like i said, i sometimes preach it but dont follow it. I probably got lucky but so far, none of my snakes have had any issues. Even Pat who was a CBB. I havent had a fecal done on him yet but when i looked at his poop the past 6 months, it is always well formed, a nice deep uniform brown color and it's been almost 6 months and nothing wrong. I still use his own utensils like i said and he is the last to get messed with after the other snakes. I'll take a fecal in to my vet one of these days.
Plus like i said, i buy from very reliable breeders which i know isnt a guarantee. Now if i got a snake off CL or some Joe Blow guy, then you bet your dollar, that snake would be upstairs in one of the fish tanks on paper towels for 3 months lol. Kind of the reason i dont buy snakes from Joe Blow or go to reptile shows.....also i know myself well enough and if i went to a reptile show, I know dang well I would come home with 3 new snakes.....one for T8 and 2 for the 40 gallon breeder tanks hahaha.
And FedEx probably hates me as I went postal on them when they messed up delivering Harley and made them drive back and deliver her as there was no way, I was going to leave her on the truck for 8 hours until they brought her to the hub for me to pick up. They havent screwed up an order since and Harley was my first order with them with live animals hahaha. Of course i am also sitting on the doorstep at 10am cleaning handguns waiting for them lol.
