I was recently asked by a vet if I would be interested in looking after snakes- mainly green tree snakes, that cats get. (Apparently most of the snakes die from the injuries) - another good reason to use cats as crab pot bait .
I have a Bhp male ( looking 4 a fem yearling), a woma pair and two, Bredle 1 that's supposed to have hypo in its genes and 1 that's half hypo - the front half at that ! The guy in gympie ripped me off on her.
But anyway, what I want to know is there much risk in disease transfer by air and mites ect affecting my snakes. I work in quarantine so I am aware of keeping them seperate and washing my hands before and after handling each diff snake and I use very hot water to disinfect and clean cages and equipment ect and then touch it with straight alcohol spray and/ or alco wipes.
If I were to help the vet, the snakes she gives me will be isolated from mine. Is there a certain distance for that? Any help will ne appreciated and more questions to come I'm sure. Personally I don't really want to risk it but I don't have gtp YET or Albino's, so. I was asked if I was interested about 2-3 months ago, but I've been buying up items just incase.
Thanks, Steve
