    Do I have to quarantine a new snake if they have no problems and mites.

    All my ball pythons have came from breeders and they never had any problems with them like mites and other things. So do I need to quarantine them.

    I got no other rooms to quarantine them. Parents only let me keep them in one room.

    then just do the best that you can, put them as far away from eachother in the room that you can, dont touch your other snakes or items after you have touched anything to do with the new snake unless you washed up first.

    I agree. I qt everyone. Even the ones I get from my best friend. And yes I've gotten babies and breeders from my best friend.
    Qt is always necessary. It's thinking that its not that will make you Lose your whole collection in time. I dont wish that on anyone. And it's only you that can protect them. Dont they deserve it??
