Or you could have 1 or more animals that come in with problems and not know it.

    You could more than likely pull it off in the same room, but its not advisable to have new snakes in the same rack system as established snakes, as in above, below or next to the new arrival.

    It is much easier to pinpoint a problem when the animal is isolated, hence the "quarantine" process.

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying/asking.

    The book is worth buying and owning and Vin Russo answers questions in it that I can't.

    There are other keepers here that are more skilled than I am at keeping multiple animals. I currently house 3 separate species and all are in naturalistic, display cages.

    The rack/tub keepers could offer some guidance I'm sure.
    I believe you may be misunderstanding me, or it could be the other way around. I have no idea, haha. What I'm saying is that I'm setting up a new room far away from my established collection to quarantine new arrivals. A separate reptile room, basically. I'm going to have a new rack in there specifically for new snakes. Quarantine lasts three months in that room and restarts if any new animal comes into the room. After that's over, they would go to my established reptile room. It makes sense in my head, just not sure if I'm overlooking something incredibly obvious.

    Alright, I'll definitely be thinking about that book. The next expo is at the end of the month, so if I see it there at a lower price, I'll pick it up there. If not, I'll get it on Amazon. In the meantime, I'll do some online research. I'm definitely not in a hurry to get a boa, so I figure I might as well take my time.

    If anyone else has any input on the quarantine question, I'd love to hear it.
