Should they all be treated for mites/parasites?
Quarantining is a MUST for a minimum of 3 months with CH. Different room, different equipment. If you have to use the same equipment as your other snakes, make sure you sterilize them between uses. Depending on who you're buying them from, they may have already been treated for mites and parasites. It might be worth it to pay a little more and get ones that are already treated and have eaten. Either way, it's a good idea to get them checked out at the vet after they settle in.
