    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi everyone, I have a few questions.

I have been told that there will be no need to QT new snakes from expos because the animals get checked by a vet prior to the expo, is this true?

Also, I plan to purchase maybe 3 BPs from a private breeder I found on several Facebook groups. I won't have racks until November, would it be fair to purchase the BPs now and ask the breeder to quarantine before shipping (at least 2 months)? Is it uncommon or disrespectful toward the breeder?

Thank you!!

No, that is not true. There are some diseases that are not apparent from a vet check, always quarantine critters when you receive them.

As far asking someone else to do your quarantine, I would not do it, if you have a collection you have too much at stake. Someone could say they would quarantine your animals and just not do it, or they might quarantine but might not be as careful as you would be of your own animals.

Thank you, Lucille for your advice! Does it matter to qurantine if I only have 1 snake now?
And if I get snakes from different breeders in different rooms? Or can they go in 1 rack? In the same room, if all purchased at the same time?

Thank You again!!
