2019 Snek Acquisition Plan

[tttaylorrr]

Ideally they'll all be in seperate rooms for 90 days or longer.
Once healthy and out of quarantine they can go into the same rack.

So individual tubs with tops in 3 different rooms? How much handling do you do during this time?

Ideally, yes.

hey craig! i just wanna jump in here (not to step on your toes ): i quarantine snakes i got at the same time in the same room together. my two new animals' tubs are literally right next to each other. for animals you get from separate shows, you should QT them separately as any new additions to QT resets the "QT clock" for all animals back to 0.

but just a reminder that QT is not something to take lightly; it is a very important part of keeping multiple snakes. the best time to start practicing QT is when you only have one animal.

Thanks for the advice Craig. I'm wondering, when purchasing from a breeder at a show, should there be a concern with mites?

me and the breeder i got one of my new animals from joked that we'd bet our life savings there were mites at the show. you should just assume there are and follow QT when you get home: immediately strip out of your clothes, toss them in the wash and hop in the shower! that's what i do after every show.
