help me persuade my mom to seperate the bps

[bcampos]

One of the biggest issues I'm seeing here is you got one snake, then another a couple of weeks later and you're housing them together immediately. Housing communally isn't a good idea ever but doing this means you've done no quarantine with the new snake at all. Even housed seperately you need to follow quarantine procedures anytime a new snake comes into your home, even if it's from the same source. You have no idea what either snake has been exposed to. To toss another snake into the tank of the first snake is playing with fire, and in the end the snake's will pay the greatest price (though your mother may well if she has to foot any vet bills).

+1....

Man you were just asking on the chat board the other day if anyone wanted to "give you" another snake. What's your deal? It sounds to me like you are digging your own hole. Why dont you plan what you are doing before jumping in and getting more snakes. Instead of convincing your mom that you have to do something, you should have thought about it before grabing another one. Sounds pretty careless on your part, not your mothers.

It just seems to me that you are being a bit reckless here. No quarantine on a new snake? You've already lost your first snake from falling asleep with it. You've mentioned that you lost a boa this past summer that you have not recovered. And now you want to buy more, breed, post in the sale/purchase forum???

But you need your Mom's permission to separate the snakes.

Errrrr.....
