I'm keeping them as far apart as possible. I don't have rooms in my apartment, so to say. it's a loft, so i only have the downstairs living room and the upstairs bedroom but no doors except the closet. My first snake is downstairs, then I have a corn in QT in the closet upstairs, and the new one is going to be housed upstairs but on the separate side of the bedroom. I haven't been using different cleaning supplies, but I wash everything with scalding hot soapy water in between cleaning the enclosures. I don't do them on the same day, so that I can clean the cleaning stuff. Anything I should look for? I'm gonna try and calmly but quickly look the snake over for mites, scale rot, burns, and other ailments before letting it settle into it's comfy, sanitized tank. I'm not sure what the situation with this snake is, and I don't know what's coming with the snake. If it comes with a heat pad, I'm going to possibly switch it over to a tub. I'm most scared about burns from an unregulated heat source. Thanks for the reply! I guess we'll see tomorrow what the prognosis is!
