Exactly. And the housing conditions in which its being kept... I have alot of new snakes coming very soon and even tho im sure they are all healthy and well cared for, they will all be fecal tested and blood tested as well as being kept seperate from my others. Ive heard horror stories from my exotics vet about small time breeders and snake sickness...
People have no idea how easy it is to lose your entire collection due to one simple sickness that can go un noticed until its been passed to every single snake. There are multiple bacteria, parasites, and viruses that can be in these snakes and easily passed to another one..
