[coreyc]

What is a good quarantine time ? I have heard any where from 2 week's to 6 month's Also I have a 6' table that I was going to divide in half one side for quarantine the other for tort's I have now or should I put my new one in my smaller table by itself ?

Corey,I would recommend a month in a seperate enclosure.Practice good hygine when caring for both-wash your hands in between handling both.Have the new arrival checked by a vet and have a fecal exam done to check for parasites.

I'd use two tables and seperate the two tables by at least 6' (and having each in a seperate rooms is even better), and be fanatical about washing your hands when handling one or the other.

Different opinions on quarantine time spans, but at least 30 days.

No downside to being too careful.
