Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have a growing collection. Truth is I am running out of room. COuld snakes be quarantined in the same room or rack if not held or touched at the same time? I have a rack system in the bedroom with boas I've had for 3 years to six months. Or at family members house I have a 17ft retic that I have had for 4 mouths could it live in a cage in there? I dunno cause I keep buying boas and have plenty enough cages just not enough rooms to quarantine.

Well, Quarantined means just that. I think that to have them in the same room/rack accomplishes nothing . Mites crawl from cage to cage, to carpet or floor etc. Airborne issues could play a part in things as well. As for the Retic living in the bedroom, you have had it 4mths and if everything is fine with it you should be able to keep it in there provided quarantine procedures has been practiced with it.
