If I were to take a rescue, I would QT for 6 months.
When you say QT for 6 months... Do you mean leave it alone and not handle it for a 6 month period??? They will both have their own Tanks of course... And I am borderline OCD when it comes to keeping their setups clean... and Washing up before and after handling each animal. If 6 months of alone time is what he needs to keep him healthy then that is what he will have. And another question... Why from BP to Boa in that order... Shouldn't it be just a strict in the opposite order? Thanks so much for the advice... These are the things that only experienced handlers tell you... and knowledgeable input from a fellow experienced herper is priceless!
