How long should an outdoor enclosure be empty between species

[mrnewberry]

How long would you guys leave an outdoor enclosure empty after housing a WC species before introducing your precious CB species?

I think most of the organisms and parasites we would be worried about wouldn't last a year outdoors without a host. This is just my "feeling" on the matter. I don't have scientific studies to back this opinion.

Thanks. That was what I was thinking myself and I am coming up on just that time frame.

Why is the WC species no longer in the enclosure? That would be a significant factor.

I just no longer have them. It wasn’t disease or anything.

Pin worms live in the soil when not causing internal problems.
