    Quarantine for hogs?

    I've read all about qt for balls, but I haven't seen anything on hognoses (I'm sure it's out there, but I've got some different questions). Is it like the same as bps? I see 60-90days, what would you recommend? I know it's different room, paper towel substrate, tend to them last, etc. etc. I've also seen people do fecals, how necessary is that? I'm almost 100% getting myself a female hog next month at the super show in LA (Finally, I can't wait!), and the qt tank is to be all set-up by next week or so. It's a 10gal with paper towels, 2 simple hides, a little plastic water dish, and just a UTH (No heat lamp. I'm just waiting on the thermostat). Does that all sound ok? I'll also pretreat the enclosure with pam, just to be safe. (And I'll get some new feeding tongs just for her, I'll try not to mix any supplies. They'll be very very thoroughly washed if I have to though!)
    Thanks guys! I know quarantine is talked about pretty often on here, so I apologize for adding to the hundreds of qt threads.
