    Re: Sufficient quarantine distance.

And honestly, IBD is the least of my worries. There are many more severe, more common, and deadly viruses that can kill just as easily.
    All of this scares me a lot. I dont think I was very diligent this past two or three weeks with QT. What can I do at this point? I have three pairs of tongs but I may have mixed them up during my cleaning process, and same as when I do my cleanings :s. I have been cleaning all of their water bowls and hides in the same sink, with a bleach solution in spray bottle and a sponge to scrub. I made sure to remember which hide and bowl is who's.

    I have kept everything disinfected and clean since theyve gotten here, but I honestly didnt know to wash hands before dealing with different snakes in QT. So I pretty much screwed up my QT completely.

    What should I do at this point? Just be dilligent about it now and hope that nothing has been transferred? Would it be beneficial to bring the snakes to the vet for a complete checkup to check for RI's, MSRA, IBD or any other deadly viruses?

    To OP: Sorry for hijacking!! I didnt want to start a new thread since this was all relevant.
