Will i need a new light and heat pad. What can i buy to keep it in for quarentining? And how long will i need to quarentine? I have hides and dishes and everything already. Anything else i need to know about quarentine?
Thanks.

you can simply use a 10g tank,set it up like any other leo tank and the time frame is any where from 1-3 months.

if you have the room place him somewhere else so it will not come in contact with the other leo somehow.

if not make sure you wash your hands everytime you handle your new leo before handling the others.

this reduces the risk of passing anything to your already established leo's and keeping everyone healthy

It's a good idea to quarantine for at least 3 months or longer if possible. It's not hard; just keep the leos separate and make sure to take care of the new one last.
