Quarantine

Where in your house compared to other animals do you place your quarantined animals and for how long? What do you do in the interim while quarantining? (Vet visit, fecals, blood work, etc...)

This is a question being brought up on a different thread, but I thought to start a new one to see what answers people come up with...

I have a dedicated herp room for my established critters.

All new critters are quarantined in my bedroom where I have a rack (for when I buy multiple animals from the same source) and a store bought shelving unit with a few various sized Iris tubs (for individually bought animals).

All new arrivals are held in quarantine for 90 days. If for any reason a snake is making me feel uneasy they get a vet trip and a fecal. I dont fecal test every new arrival, but I do fecal test most new arrivals right before they are moved to the established herp room.

For example, lets say I bought three CBB hatchlings from "Trusted Breeder A". As long as all three appear healthy and normal at the end of 90 days I will only fecal test one of the three before moving them into my herp room. All individually bought critters are fecal tested at the end of 90 days.

Lastly, I do all my feedings, water changes, cleanings, etc, etc, on my established animals first every day. Then I will thoroughly wash my hands and forearms before I do the same with my quarantined animals.
