2019 Snek Acquisition Plan

[tttaylorrr]

Thanks, Taylor. I've never had more than one animal in QT at a time, so I could be going into overkill mode. But I do think I would personally still want them in seperate rooms, especially if they came from different breeders. But hey, that's just me and coukd be overkill.

OP, like Taylor said, plan on there being mites somewhere at the show. Unfortunately, expos and mites often go hand in hand.
Follow Taylor's advise on post-show washing, etc...

Think of it this way:
- table X has mites
- Person A handles snakes at table X.
- Person A then moves on to table Y
- Person A now handles snakes at table Y, table Z, etc...
The mites could have traveled very easily from person A from one table to another. Now think of hundreds of people all handling snakes all over the room...

...@craigafrechette i am here to eat crow.

so i bought two new babies at the same show, but one has mites. yes, mites. despite what i thought was a "careful eye" or better knowledge, i could not have noticed them and i only noticed after the Bamboo shed.

@craigafrechette i was WRONG. both animals should have been QT'd separately since i COULD have made the space.

i will be posting a thread aaaaallllll about this, but i WISH i QT'd these babies separately as now i have to treat both babies as having full-blown mites and subject them both to treatment.

yay, mites!!!
