Hey all! I'm brand new to the site, and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I had three ball pythons that have since been tested and put down (they were my only snakes) but after enduring 9 months of absolute hell until finding out it was Nidovirus, I'm extremely paranoid. I had a cornsnake and a Crested gecko who were exposed to my male who showed signs after I decided to quarantine. The cornsnake was tested and came back negative, and I was told that I wouldn't need to worry about my crested gecko who has since come into contact with two other crested geckos (not directly but in the same room). Now, I have recently gotten three more ball pythons after it had been roughly a month after my last positive one was removed from my home and I had disinfected everything. I reacquired a young female who I took care of after I took care of my last positive snake, but I wiped my hands and used Lysol after messing with him, so I gave her a 10% chance of having it but I tested her anyways and it came back negative since I was getting two more snakes about a week after her (they're separated and quarantined very hardcore). However, after 9 months of hell, I'm super paranoid. I just want to know if there is a time limit on how long it would take Nidovirus to show up on a test if the little girl is infected (which I highly doubt she is but I'm being super cautious) even though they did a PCR test and it came back negative orally. And I'm very concerned that maybe somehow my Crested gecko got it and could spread it even though he is perfectly healthy, I got him and my last sick male BP (he was adopted but I infected him through inexperience and not knowing what was going on and I take full responsibility for that, I have testing and quarantine protocols now) at the same time, September. So in short, how long does nidovirus take to infect and show up on tests (PCR, I use RAL), and could my Crested gecko have possibly gotten it? And if anyone could tell me how to make a new thread, I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Thank you!!!!!!
