| You gonna have sensible quarantine procedures with this one? Or are you gonna just hope it isn't carrying anything dodgy that could cause issues with your other livestock? |

| you have a qaurantine room and a snake room, fair enough. Whats in your quarantine room as you only got the burm a little while back and cannot have been properly quarantined yet, and if its still in the quarantine room and the new boa is is the quarantine room then they are not really quarantined. Boas must be kept totally out of the way from pythons during this period. |

| Come on guys for the sake of appearance on the forum give it a rest :P The OP didn't ask for advice about quarantines what he wants to do is surely his choice and his responsibility? |

| i live in a 1 bedroom flat so i only have 2 rooms that i can use, the bedroom and the living room, the bedroom is the quarantine room with the boa and burm at opposite ends and as far away from each other as possible while the living room is the general snake room. |

It is upto any new owners choice yes but imagine if the boa brings in IBD and no quarantine or crpyto or even mites the whole collection is wiped out, not with mites but the whole collection is then infested so quariantine is incredibly important particularly when bringing new boas and pythons together, and if it takes threads like this to highlight this so be it. the fact that the new boa and burm are in the same room this is not quarantine. |

@ Staple: lol! xD
@ Mamma: My comment wasn't aimed at you :)
@ Gmac: You're right I wasn't aware the burm and boa were in the same room, doesn't seem to be much he can do about it though now he's bought it and only has 2 rooms for snakes, I got stuck in the same situation with pandora, was not aware at the time I'd need a second room for quarantine I thought just using disinfectant between handling would be enough.
Goodluck with it all and fingers crossed nothing gets cross-contaminated from 1 to the other, if they are at opposite ends of a large enough room it should be okay I know a lot of pet shops deliberately keep boa's and pythons on complete opposite sides of the shop. |

haha if i wanted to slag u off trust me I WOULD, it was a mere question considering you only got the burm a few weeks ago an have made no previous mention to quarantining it you should have atleast a 3month quarantine period, but as has been said what your doing isnt really quarantine, ud of been better gettin the burm quarantine done an then moved in room with other snakes first.
No dout you will now say im slagging you off though an insulting your knowledge |

| if you only have 2 rooms, then wouldnt you have been better to quarintine the burm first for 3 months or however long, and the after that get the boa, not just buy a boa when you have no room to quarintine it |
