1st breeding attempt

[Homegrownscales]

Super huge bad things like IBD which could kill an entire ball collection in a matter of months. As well as Mites which sucks to get rid if if they get into your collection. Getting things in could be as easy as touching one snake and then touching another wo washing hands. Things like that require careful qt

ibd can only be spread by mites and i alway use P.A.M on the enclosure before bring a new snake into the room, or when i get them back. so ok one snake gets ibd i try to always wash my hand between animals anyway so again tell me the reasoning for quarantine
and if an animal has ibd dose it always show in 90 days or less or could it be "sleeping" on the animal for a year or so?

IBD is not just spread by mites…It’s a communicable disease that can be spread a lot of different ways…Breeding being one of them…Pythons cannot live very long with IBD.

You also need to quarantine to make sure there is no RI, which could also spread to your whole collection.

It could be very stressful shuffling your male around and he may not breed for you at all…IMO it's not worth the risk to the animal(s).

Wow that is scary. I never new such a bad RI existed. I don't have a separate building for quarantine, only a different room. It makes me afraid to add anything to my collection
