Some people say 1-3 mth seperation but all depends where u get them from. I've kept some separate for a few weeks that were shop bought or from an unknown source but some where I know the snake and the environment it came from I don't :)

I always keep any new stock in a separate room for three months before it goes anywhere near my collection

My snakes are kept in the lounge but any new ones are kept in my bedroom to begin with. Just to be on the safe side.

I didn't have the space to keep new snakes in seperate rooms, my snakes were just just kept away from each other for a few weeks at different ends of the room they're in, 3 came from good reputable reptile shops and 1 from a well known breeder & my snakes are in perfect health.
