Now as I am not the one starting "it", I have never seen an RI passed to another snake in the same rack or room. Would I recommend anyone blow off QT, NO. Do I treat mine as well as other snakes that have an RI BHB style? Yes
My biggest worry has always been mites, I picked them up at a show and brought them home to my snakes. I never thought of myself being a carrier but guess what? hat was the worst month of my reptile life trying to get them little black free loaders out of my house. I have seen how they can stress an snake.
We are lucky, I have a 3 bedroom and only one kid so the snakes got their room and our bedroom is the QT area.
