Randomness is the key..

Lockup achieved! Few more and we will be in biznis.

I still can't believe you never quarantined this snake. Just tossed it in. Poor show of care in my books.

[stephanbakir]

It was technically in quarantine for over a year at its owners house, he treats it with the best care... and its his only herp. If i had 100 herps I still would have tossed it in with mine, but instead I would have put mine in isolation with his away from my collection just in case.

[Kayla90]

But Stephan ... you won't have 100 .. unless Kirana starts to pop some babies out you'll still have one.. Babies >.<
Hehehe

Stephan, I thought you were smarter than that. Your 'quarantine' practices are embarassing and you should not go around talking about them publicly. You're gonna lose:
1. Respect with the responsible breeders and
2. Sales.
3. Animals to illness due to bad quarantine.

[stephanbakir]

If his animal has been kept indoors for upwards of a year, and not come in contact with any other animals. I'd consider that quarantine. I know the person as a friend, an spend at least a few days a week in his home. Generally I keep any new animal in isolation for 6-9 months but in this unique case, I made an exception because I knew the animal was clean.

[Aaron_S]

Are you sure it was clean? How do you know?! Other friends of his could bring stuff in on themselves if they keep reptiles.

It's not quarantine unless it's within your care.

I have gotten animals from Mykee for a number of years now and I still quarantine all animals from him. He knows it and doesn't take it personally.

[stephanbakir]

I guess I didn't think it through, I understand that point of view and will change my methods in the future.
