I think she means because he's just new, and not been quarantined before introducing to your other snake. They both look lovely  |

Most pet shops don't care if a snake is carrying mites for example so Sexy Bear is absolutely correct, newly acquired snakes really should be quarantined |

| Quite simply they should not come into contact with others as any mites or infections can be passed on very quickly, we have no idea as to the health of any newly purchased stock so caution is the best practice. |

| There is no point in worrying- chances are they will be fine, it's just that its never a good idea to introduce a new snake to the rest of your collection until its been quarantined for a period of time. |

| I've taken both tanks down to a bare minimum with tissue bedding and given them baths I'm unsure if its mights there's no pretuding lumps on them but I'm sure I see a black dot vanish on the new one, I'm taking it back to the shop tomorrow to try and resolve it I'm literally in tears over stuart I'm hoping he hasent caught mites :'( |

| Look closely around the eyes, mouth and vent on each snake. Mites on the body should be moving about a little bit. Certainly, if you are offered a product like Ardap to treat the caramel then treat the normal as well. |
