I definately understand the point of view that purchasing a mistreated animal just enforces the mistreatment of future animals, but that has already been pointed out, and I feel the tone towards the OP is slightly unfair. Korbin, it seems from the OP's post that he has two snakes. Why would he quarantine his first ever snake? Quarantine it from whom, the mosquitos in his room? Like you guys, I am still waiting on pictures, but it seems like you guys kinda jumped all over him here and I cannot figure out why.

From what I have read a snake ri can be passed to other reptiles and vice versa. They have other herps so I would recommend quarantine before throwing anything in the reptiles room.

I did not know he had other reptiles, and I agree that quarantine is a must. However, my main point stands- why is everyone being so rude to the OP?
Side note:
is it really possible for RI to be passed inter-species? I have never even considered that.

RI's can't (trust me, I've got a FeLV+ cat, i know most of the inter species diseases). Certain mites can though, I believe.

From what I have read on other forums some people truly believe an ri can pass from snakes to lizards or vice versa. Others think it is hogwash. I am not sure as I have never worried about other herps.

Actually I believe snake mites can only affect snakes but not lizards or turtles.

There's other types of mites that snakes can get though, right? I could be way off...xD
