Hello everyone
I am going to a reptile show this Saturday and I will probably get another Leo at the show. Currently I have a 15 gallon holding two juvis (3 and 4 months old). I am meeting someone at the show to buy a 45, 40, and 15 gallon tanks.

I want to put my two girls into the 40 gallon, and eventually move my 3rd Leo (permitting if I get another female) into 40 after the quarantine time is up. Can I take the 15 gallon that I currently have set-up for my two girls and move my new Leo into it (so I may quarantine him/her)? My two girls seem extremely healthy, are fat pigs and their pop/eating habits seem very healthy. Do I have to wash everything or will it be fine as it is? So can I go ahead and move the 2 girls into the 40 gallon and the new gecko into their old home? Do you guys quarantine for 30 or 90 days?

here's the 15 gallon by the way

I suggest washing everything in the 15 gallon tank before putting the new leo in just so she can acclimate better to her new home without dealing with the stress of your other leos' scent.

Quarantine for at least 90 days. With some of the problems you're quarantining for, symptoms aren't apparent until they're at death's door. I had an asymptomatic corn snake make it past the 30 day mark before she suddenly died--it turns out she had a triple worm infection, including a heavy load of lungworms that caused her to choke to death. Imagine the consequences if I had only quarantined her for 30 days. I'm still kicking myself for not having gotten a fecal test done sooner.
