When buying a new snake once recieved how long do you keep it
in quaratine, and what if you buy from a respectible breeder
should you still put that snake in a room with other quarantined snakes or can you go ahead and put it in with your other snakes? I have two seprate rooms for my snakes one quarantine room and one where my other snakes are so just curious on what you all do Thanks for any input

I would say the perfect way would be to quarentine all boas in a seperate room for a minimum of 3 months better is 6 months.

Now let's say you are a new breeder...and all or most of your animals are bought from one particular breeder...if you decide to buy another from that breeder...I do not think the quarentine part for another animal from the same place would be logical...but really if you can quarentine...it is always the best bet.
