Hey I have 0.2 females in quarantine for a month or more now and they have shown no signs of sickness or mites. How much longer until I can put them in the rack?

Most people wait about 2-3 months before placing them in with their others. Some still keep them seperate. If you have a high dollar collection it could really cost you if you missed something. Just my thoughts.

Absolute minimum is 1 month (in my opinion). I put colubrids in quarantine for just one month and as long as they are eating well, have shed at least once and pass a clean fecal I put them in my herp room. However, with pythons I go longer (2-3 months) and boas even longer.
As the other poster said, it's up to you, what you feel comfortable with and perhaps what kind of collection you have.
