From what I understand, most BP health risks spread like wildfire within a matter of hours (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, a lot of people end up buying these snakes, just like I did with Pandora. So if these developing health risks are SUCH a concern that you can't keep a new BP in the same room as another one, how is it that a majority of the BPs brought to shows (that sometimes stay in the same room as several others for the entire duration of a weekend) don't end up dying off or getting any major illnesses?
JUST so I get that cleared up...
Pandora, stop. I know you have all the answers, and we're just hugging you at this point. You asked why you need to quarantine, and we told you. Don't follow, the advice. That's fine. Chances are, nothing will happen. There's probably a 99% chance that nothing will happen. But if it does, andthats a big if...don't come back on in a month and say "My poor pandora is sick, andher nose is bubbling and she won't eat. What's wrong?"
