Same thing goes for if one moves to a certain country or vice versa. Its to protect the resident animals. The point being animals can pass other things to each other. And I'm not talking about RI or mites, which are pretty obvious to identify in a few weeks or less, like you said. Some people have invested thousands of dollars in some collections. It would be very sad and a huge waste if an outbreak of something occurred in a large collection due to poor quarantine procedures. Like I mentioned before, better safe than sorry.

    Nikki, so that we may better educate our dear Riv, would you care to enlighten him on where you are going to school and where you work? You've shared it with us before so I don't think I'm asking you to divulge any deep, dark secrets............

    I'd hate for him to think you are a liar too.
