Keep it in a different room to the rest of your collection for a couple of months.

3-6 is a minimum really
longer the better.

You need to observe strict hygene methods during this time too. Handle/clean/feed it last, always wash hands, dont cross contaminate basically.

But it depends on tons of factors as to what you decide
