    Thumbs up Re: New with Questions

    Hello and welcome to the club! Most reptile keepers who house more than one snake have what's known as a quarantine period. This is a period of time where the animal that is a new addition to a collection can be monitored and observed for any signs of illness or injury. The new addition is kept away from the established collection for 30 to 90 days. Of course he's fed and watered and given a clean and comfortable enclosure but just observed more closely. So, just be on the lookout for anything suspicious with your new guy and I think it's a good idea to wait to handle him or even to feed him. This way you can feel more secure that he's been monitored and gives him time to become more acclimated. Enjoy. He's a winner!
    Stay in peace and not pieces.
