I unfortunately quarantine in the same room. Really don't have a choice I own a house but have young children and they have friends over...so the snakes are kept in our bedroom where the door can be locked and not much traffic and the girls know no one but our family can go in there.
My main concerns are mites, ri and parasites.
I learned a really good lesson this past week well over the past month. If my newest did have ri would my other guys in the same room be safe? Maybe not. If he did have mites from what I read those little buggers can crawl and nice ways to find a meal. Would my guys in the same room be safe? Most likely not.
Thankfully it looks like no mites and probably no ri but I actually had trouble sleeping some nights. When I saw bubbles the other night I swear I felt sick. It's not a money thing it's the fact they are our pets. Money is replaceable sure I could buy another snake but will they hang out with my daughter watching tv? Like our baby bee and Linus do?
I now have a can of PAM on hand, F10 as our cleaner, but I think for our next one I'm going to try figure out a different room to quarantine in and only deal with people I know and trust for more peace of mind on my end.
