you asked a question and the members gave you the correct answer. your trying to find a way around it. the answer is, not everyone will quarantine. it the best thing you can do to protect your other snakes. anything short of it you're adding more risk. so if you keep them in the same room. yes washing your hands, keeping the room and both enclosure spotless, handling the new addition last. feeding the new addition last. even treating the enclosure for the new snake with pam (follow the directions that on the can) all will help. but quarantine is best. even with quarantine there's still risk. sounds like you only have one other snake. I have over 100, most are worth more than a grand. so you can see why quarantine and husbandry is so important.
