Should you quarantine your first snake?

[Craiga 01453]

I'm unsure on this. Should you quarantine your first snake? I don't want mites in the bioactive substrate I plan to use- because then I'll have to throw it all out (It's expensive substrate!) So should I set up a temporary enclosure just to monitor the snake's health before moving it into a bigger enclosure?

Great question!!!

I personally would. I'd hate to see all the time, effort and expense go to waste. And then you're back at step one again.
