I only have little more than 2K invested in so far...that includes the snakes and all the stuff for them. However if I was to bring something in and it killed my collection. OYE...I would be devastated...not to mention....my child would probably divorce me...lol.

It is better to be safe than sorry. The scariest thing to me with new snakes are....were they around boa's. They say that IBD can lay dormat in boas for years....or even the boa can be a carrier.

And imagine the $$ it would cost if your new snake had a parasite....and all of them got it.
But you could have waited 3 months and mabey there was still a parasite in it and then all your other snakes got it.
