    Do I quarantine my new snake?

    I'm collecting my new BP a week today, I'm getting him from a breeder so obviously ATM hes around other snakes. I don't currently have any pets. I've spent the last 6 months making my bioactive enclosure, everything I've put in be it live plants, real wood ect I have sanitised/disinfected. Do I need to quarantine my new snake before I put him in or as I don't plan on getting anything else can I just put him in straight away?

    I would. Some sellers send free mites with their snakes.

    Re: Do I quarantine my new snake?

    hahaha Free mites
    So my other question is how do I quarantine? As I don't have another tank and as my enclosure is bioactive and full of plants. Can I try and just put a tub in the existing one so the temps and humidity will be correct or should I try and make a temporary set up with what I have?
