Over the last couple of months I can't believe the amount of people who are ignoring quarantine periods or just not quarantining at all.

Honestly can't believe the amount of people who have bought say a royal female for their male and because the breeding season is already underway they are gonna start to cool now so they can breed in time, stuff like that.

I honestly can't believe people could be so stupid, am I the only to notice this?

I've noticed a fewthreads with no mention of quarantine

But the thing is alot of people will put making money over the animals welfare.

Here, here Young Gun, we strictly quarentine for 3/4 months, couldn't afford not to, have fecal sample done and even the odd stomach wash and stain (I know, i know it doesn't always show) but i'm sure its more than some would be bothered to do!

I have 2 reptile rooms, one for Collection, the other for quarantining, and they're in there for 3 Months minimum.

__________________

I have seperate vivs/tubs for QT and apart from two melamine vivs they are all in a seperate room (the loft) and I have totally different equipt,decor,feeding tongs and water source.

I will handle as little as possible and if I have to it will be the last animal I handle with using hand gel (Purell, good enough for MRSA, good enough for me) before and after handling, all the decor is sterilised with camden tablets every week for the QT period and then afterwards before a new inhabitant.

I just can't believe people don't even do simple things, your not only risking your own collection your risking anyones collection who comes into contact with your or your reps, which then could possibly threaten my collection.

People just dont understand the risks involved, its the saem with sex, i still come across people who refuse to wear condoms!!
