Is it OK for tanks to be next to each other or stacked? From my understanding the only problem with that would be is with mites - is the correct to everyones knowledge?

If there are other ways this can be passed on then how do you quarantine a fast growing collection - as was said before - whats the point in having 90% of your stock isolated when anything they have will be passed around between each other.

If I buy a new boa and 6 months later I buy another and put it in the same isolation room (obviously in differant tanks, but stacked on top of each other) would I have to extend the quarantine for the initial snake until the last snake to enter the room is classed as 'clear' (I am using that term loosly).

Ian I never got your email mate...

cheers
