Thank you I realized I might take some heat because I did not use what some would consider proper quarantine procedures. My only justification to myself was the fact that all my snakes are new so whether they are in a separate room in a rack or in my snake room with a rack I couldn't see the difference. I sold all my Colubrids to a local breeder to free up the room and cleaned and sanitized everything and was over a month before the first animal was introduced.

The Male Normal that we had before all the new aquisitions is in another room he stays in my sons bedroom in a 55gal tank, always has even when I had the Colubrids in my snake room.

Thanks for the advice. I will put them on paper (Tried Paper Towels and they wad them up but I suspect Newspaper would be just as good and is more rigid to keep them from wadding it up and ending up on the bare plastic. Racks are new to me.
