quarentine question

TimS Jul 31, 2007 12:47 AM

ok so im thinkig bout getting a dumerils or two from a buddy of mine now he has had them for about 2 years now captive bred mite free never had any health problems. now would you still quarentine them in a room away from your collection but in a different room than your majior quarentine or just put them in your collection room and spray provent-a-mite as a precausion? im goin both ways on this one its like i know they are healthy and problem free but im a very cean freak and nervous person when it comes to cages and animal health i think there gonna end up in my living room for abotu a month or so just to see where it goes lol

see i dont wanna put in Q room since the room i am using for that has some questionable animals in there right now and dont wanna mix with my so far healthy dums. thats why im thinking living room but the trick is finding room in there lol the igguanna cage pretty much owns that room besides the fish tanks

Ahhhh I would use living room to be honest, for at least 2 weeks to double make sure kind of thing.

and that is where Dave has his brb's from Will cuz he didn't want to put them in the q-room also since he had some snakes in there too but definately different rooms and on feeding night go from snake room to the dumerils to the questionable ones and how is that 24/7 treating big Tim?
