I know the subject of IBD and quarantine have come up before. But I would reaiiy like to know, how long would you need to quarantine your collection of pythons after finding out one had IBD, before you could be sure that the rest of your pythons are IBD free. Any niformation on this would be greatly appreciated.

AT LEAST 6 months, preferable 12 months.

Thanks for the quick answer, I was thinking it would have been longer than that.
