you've already had him a week, so you would have noticed any bugs buy now, good luck!
Usually I do quarentine my new herps, but I know the breeder fairly well and I've met the parents and handled all the hatchlings. If I didn't know exactly where this little guy came from, and I was unable to visit the breeding and housing area, I would definently quarentine him.
If you still suggest quarentining him, he would have to go into the 29g tank for at least 2 weeks until my 10g set-up is freed. So hopefully he doesn't mine the space. I can easily litter the whole enclosure with many hides, so he has plenty of cover in all temperature ranges.
