i do if i get new snakes, all i do is put them in a seperate enclosure and wash my hands realy well if i touch the animal and make sure nothing goes from one enclosure to the next with out being cleaned.

how long do you do this for eddie? a week?

Yeah i normally keep them apart for a week, seperate rooms and monitor for parasites etc.. TOD them and keep them nice and warm... feed and then 24hours to keep it down before letting them anywhere near other animals... click clacks and heat pads are the way i've done it... or those big plastic tubs on wheels with click clack closers from bunning with a few holes drilled through... last thing you need is everyone getting sick... good luck.

iv always just done it for 6 months, and iv never had a problem so i stick with it. its interesting to see how long others do it for?

Amature, your post suggests you are keeping more than one snake in each enclosure, is this the case?
