Quarrantine quandary

B

BloodyCats

I like cats.
Just when I decided I wouldn't get any more snakes for a while, an offer I can't refuse has come by and it looks like I'll be recieving a couple anery hatchlings. My problem is I don't really have a place to quarrantine the little guys from my other snakes. The place farthest away from my current snakes is sort of in another room-- but all that separates them is an office divider, not walls. It's all in our wierd basement that is not really divided into rooms, but not quite what you would think of as one room either. The new and current snakes would be about 30 feet apart, at any rate. Will it be all right?
 
Any precaution you can take to keep them seperate is better then nothing. I know how hard it can be sometimes to find room for new arrivals in a completley seperate room. Keep them as far apart as possible and always take care of the new ones last. A vet check or at least a fecal is a good idea, if you can. Another suggestion would be to clean their cages outside of the room everyone is in. I don't know if this is possible with your caging you will be using. This would keep any bedding and fecal particles from getting in to the air. What every you decide to do, good luck with your new babies:D
 
any chance you can "sucker" a friend or relative into helping? Either by taking the old, or the new "batch" for a few months? The reason I put sucker in quotes, is because the joke is they'll probably want their own after they "do you this favor".

if that's not an option, I would actually disagree with one point Alicia made, and that's simply that if I had to keep them all in the same house I'd take care of them on different days altogether so you don't personally cross-contaminate pests *either* direction.

Good Luck!
