So glad you made this vid because theres not alot of info about quarantining new reptiles, mostly just when they get sick. I didnt know about it until last year, thankfully i only have two reptiles and theyre kept in seperate rooms anyway. Even the breeder i bought my snake from didnt know about it, and hes been in reptile breeding for 8 years. Hopefully more people start spreading this info!
I recently rescued some rats, and they’re are brothers, and I have to take them to the vet because the woman who had them, was not taking care them properly and depriving them of essentials..but I found out they have lice and have the flu..the situation was just horrible..but I’m so glad I rescued them. They’re the sweetest little boys❤️
JPs Pet nation it was sooo hard to see them in such a bad condition, I took them into the vet that specializes in rodents, and they didn’t have any lice, but they did have a “minor” respiratory infection, they are on meds now, and they are doing so much better already❤️
This video comes at a tough time for me. I had quarentined my very first ball python from my other snakes because he had a really bad resp infection. He passed away 2 days ago and I'm so so glad I didn't have him near my other snakes because it would have shattered me to lose them all more than it already did to lose my special boy.
@@tylerrugge thanks for the love. Yes I got very lucky. I'm awaiting more necropsy results and for the meantime his remains are in the freezer so I can get him cremated.
If you buy butcher's paper in bulk, it works out way cheaper than paper towel, easier again to spot mites etc, and you can fold it to fit perfectly. easier to clean up too. This has been a great video Tyler, ty for sharing ^_^ Do you guys use F10 spray to disinfect/wash between animals in the States too? Those two are my go-tos.
Just one thing to add, I think plastic tubs not only make great permanent enclosures for snakes, but they make fantastic quarantine enclosures because they're cheap, easy to clean, and it's easier to sot things in them. Great and informative video as always Tyler!
Omg you couldn’t be uploaded this at a better time. I’m getting a crested gecko soon and already have a ball python and was wondering how to quarantine thank yoooou
I bought a puma morph ball python at the Taylor show in MI last weekend and he's in quarantine rn! He's thankfully looking great but I've had rescued reptiles in the past that were covered in mites and had URI's which really sucked! Glad you made this video, it terrifies me when people don't quarantine!
This is so helpful!!! I found out quarantine was a thing a few months ago and I tried to research it but I didnt find much, and what I did find was confusing. This made it so much more clear! Thank you
I really enjoy your videos. They are all very informative and fun to watch. I don't even have a pet, nor have ever had one but I still enjoy watching your videos :)
Thank you Tyler. I’ve been searching for info on quarantining reptiles. I couldn’t find anyone who said how long to quarantine. And, I love the color of your hair. It’s a nice Fall color. Pat
This is very helpful with all my reptiles also i was really excited to see you at the NARBC and you were really sweet for taking another picture with me bc the first ones came out blury
this may be a stupid question but I'm looking into getting my first snake since I don't have any other reptiles in my home is it still important to quarantine?
Yes! Although you don't have any other reptiles that can possibly be infected, quarantine helps ensure that the new reptile's health is ideal. Quarantine set ups make it easier to see any mites, parasites, or changes in feces, ect.
I have a shared apartment, do you think that one snake in my bedroom and 1 in my connecting bathroom would work? They're the only rooms that are "mine". I'm not sure if it's far enough apart but I'm planning on getting a second snake.
Do you have to quarantine your snake if it's the first one you're getting (ever)? And can you quorentine in the same room where your other snakes are? Or should there be a gap of a few rooms between them?
What about the lighting and temp monitoring? Should I be giving UVB and day heat to my new crested gecko when he is in quarantine? I was thinking of only a heat pad, one cold hide and one humid hide and the food essentials. Will that be sufficient?
If I get two leopard geckos at the same time from the same breeder and they're my first lizards, do I still need to quarantine them or can they go right into the tank? (still keeping an eye on them, of course) Working on getting everything set up before I buy them so I thought I'd ask in case someone answers 🤷♀️
So, after cleaning an enclosure or handling/feeding a quarantined animal, do you just wash your hands or take a shower or what , to make sure that you don't spread anything? Also, how often do you suggest cleaning a quarantined enclosure?
Hi Tyler love your videos your an amazing person with reptiles. I also love reptiles eventually I want to make my own reptile room. I am going to get a bearded dragon after the first of the year I have question so I do not really have another room to quarantine the dragon besides my room and I am planning on keeping it in my room I can quarantine it in my room but with two separate tanks and keep the quarantine one separated from it's actual enclosure in the same room and also do I need to keep my cat out of my room while the dragon is in quarantine? And thank you so much have a blessed day and love your videos
If you can use the tank after quarantine. The answer is yes if your snake is healthy and passed quarantine from your observations. There should be no problem because you observed no illnesses or mites. It’s always good to clean the tank.
Kingken _ if you absolutely cannot put them in another room or even in another place like a friends or parents etc etc just keep them as far as possible from your other animals. Like across the room and make sure you keep everything separate don’t share feeding tongs, water bowls or other things that carry water like spray bottles etc or any other tools. Also use gloves and wash your hands after touching your new animal. Make sure to attend to this new animal AFTER you’ve finished your routine with your other animals for the day.
We will be getting a second ball python in December, I’m curious as to after handling if you should change your clothes, shower, etc. Our current ball python loves to crawl all over us and our faces, etc. I’m intending on quarantining for at least 6 months. Obviously I want to build a bond with the new girl while keeping my other baby safe, so if she wants to crawl on my face etc I will let her do whatever she wants to explore me and get used to me. So showers, clothes? Is that all necessary?
Hi Tyler. Great video. I asked this question a couple of people, but nobody answered me :D . Have you heard about a Reptilinks (sausages for snakes )? And what is your opinion about it? I'm sorry that the question is not about quarantine, but I'm really interested in your opinion about it.
Hey! Sorry for the random question, but I couldn’t find an answer online. When figuring out what size cricket to feed a reptile, do you measure the crickets width or length? I know it’s the space between the reptiles eyes that determines it, but I’m not sure if that’s the width or length of the cricket? Thanks!
What about Brazilian rainbow boas? I know they need alot of humidity so how would you quarantine a BRR and keep the humidity up with just paper towel substrate?
Dezi_Baer spray down throughout the day or get an auto humidifier with a timer . Pay close attention to the humidity level .It’s a lot of work . I been there.
Tyler I think you can keep you snake for a long time in the video and this make interesting which mean they can also see what happens in the period of quarantine /which may also give a tons of viewers /
How would you recommend going about quarantining amphibians? I don’t have any reptiles at the moment but I do have 2 long toed salamanders, and obviously you can’t keep amphibians on paper towel so if something were to arise how would I quarantine one?
If you use a large plastic tub to quarantine a full grown ball python what do you do for heating and uvb the heat would burn the plastic top until I would put it in its tank with heat pads
So I had a gecko and it live 8 years and it’s been 9 months since it died; I got all new stuff and don’t have any animals right now. I want to get another gecko should I still quarantine it if there’s nothing for it to get sick.
Hey Tyler I got a baby blue tongue skink over a month ago from a breeder and I found that he has mites 😥 Its been a nightmare trying to treat them, I can tell he is stressed bc I have to keep giving him betadine baths and I just want them gone
I don't have a house big enough to put everything in one room anyway so I don't have to worry about this too much. Definitely wish I had a big enough house to rescue that many animals tho
I keep my animals in my bedroom. I have a 10 gal freshwater tank, two hamsters and a crested gecko. I want a snake. What do I do about quarantine if I have no other room in the house I could use?
Just keep it away from the other animals. Clean any surfaces that both animals will be going on such as your bed etc. And don't handle them near each other.
yes, to check if it has any visable illnesses, i would say only for a week or two ? im not super informed on the entirety of quarentine but i would say yes
I'm about to get a ball python or a rainbow boa and I really don't know what to do when I just got it.. I mean it would be my only snake, should I put in in quarantine though there aren't other pets which can get sick? or how do I know that my snake needs bigger rats? there are so many different advices and I really want to know EVERYTHING about the snake before I get it.. can you/or other snake owners recommend me maybe books or internet pages something? But thanks for this Video. I love it. It is very informative and answered some of my questions👍🙏
Rinchen anything on moon valley reptiles website is useful. They’ve been around for almost 10 years. I’m not sure if they have anything on bp’s or rainbow boas, but if they do, it’s probably trustworthy! Good luck with your new snake!
Equestrian Rose If they are from the same place and have already been around each other, it may be fine to quarantine them In the same room, but if it’s possible to quarantine them in separate rooms it would be ideal since there’s always a possibility one animal may have an issue the other doesn’t already have!
Ariel Maddox If for some reason you have to feed your snake outside it’s enclosure, I would just do it in the same room and maybe have a designated feeding bin for that snake. 😁
SGReptiles Yes, and I haven’t had any problems with shedding or my gecko acting abnormal. Most things you will find if you research will tell you this.
kat k dude I’ve been a reptile hobbyists for more than 4 years with over 5 snakes and do research for over 2 hours a day. 😂 I just wanted to see if a random person would be able to give out correct info. Not being a dick or anything!!! By Honestly I like want you said, “people should do there own research. 👌🏼
Look at ur HAIR THO!!! Stunning purple, I love it!!
I know. I could never pull that off the way he does.
this is such an important topic that isn't talked about very often. you are a hero for covering it!!

Watching this in quarantine ✌️
skkrt
love the message of the vid! we don't want mites!!

I love watching your videos
The timing for uploading this video is perfect, because I'm going to an expo this weekend.
Jeremy's Wild Studio when you come home, take a shower and wash your clothes right away! Just a tip
Not a bad idea. I'm sure those expos are crawling with mites.
I love u Tyler this helps me a lot I might get a snake so this is helpful
Cutie Pie50 I have some and their the best
That'salyssa my mom won’t let me ge them
JPs Pet nation a hog nose or snow
I'm getting a nerodia fasciata in three years. Three. Goddamn. Years.
Wow, I learn something from you with every video you make. Thank you so much!
I bought a puma morph ball python at the Taylor show in MI last weekend and he's in quarantine rn! He's thankfully looking great but I've had rescued reptiles in the past that were covered in mites and had URI's which really sucked! Glad you made this video, it terrifies me when people don't quarantine!
Glad your back!! Hope your doing awesome
Extremely important video! Thanks for providing information about how important quarantine is!
No more mango to make noise so sad we will all miss mango
This is so helpful!!! I found out quarantine was a thing a few months ago and I tried to research it but I didnt find much, and what I did find was confusing. This made it so much more clear! Thank you
I really enjoy your videos. They are all very informative and fun to watch. I don't even have a pet, nor have ever had one but I still enjoy watching your videos :)

Lol I'm watching this on the bus on a school trip
Love u so much btw tyler❤
perfect timing! i’m getting a crestie at repticon this weekend, and wasn’t totally sure about how to do this. thanks!
Your hair is on point! Great video very informative
no
Sometimes ppl be so excited about having a new animal they forget all about the quarintine stage and letting them adjust stage it is very important
i don’t have a reptile or really any interest in getting one but i can’t stop watching these videos lmao
Thank you Tyler. I’ve been searching for info on quarantining reptiles. I couldn’t find anyone who said how long to quarantine. And, I love the color of your hair. It’s a nice Fall color. Pat
This is very helpful with all my reptiles also i was really excited to see you at the NARBC and you were really sweet for taking another picture with me bc the first ones came out blury
Love your vids man.
Great video!! Birds as well! I quarantine all my new birds for 2 months ... My reptiles 30-45day!
That hair color looks great on you. 👌🏻
Great information. Love your purple hair. My favorite color .
i think everyone needed this video
i love the purple hair (its like the galexy )🌌

i have a blue and gold macaw and a blue tounged skink
no one needed to know........
Ven Omix cool
Andric Fajardo no one needed you to be a as**ole
Can you do a video about how to train your snake to be fine with handling?
Do you have to quarantine your snake if it's the first one you're getting (ever)? And can you quorentine in the same room where your other snakes are? Or should there be a gap of a few rooms between them?
What about the lighting and temp monitoring? Should I be giving UVB and day heat to my new crested gecko when he is in quarantine? I was thinking of only a heat pad, one cold hide and one humid hide and the food essentials. Will that be sufficient?
i learn a lot from just you and I LOVE PURPLE YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING
p.s. sorry for that 😂
I just got my second ball python and I didn’t know about quarantining 😬 I haven’t watched the video fully yet but now I’m worried
If I get two leopard geckos at the same time from the same breeder and they're my first lizards, do I still need to quarantine them or can they go right into the tank? (still keeping an eye on them, of course)
Working on getting everything set up before I buy them so I thought I'd ask in case someone answers 🤷♀️
I'm getting a Kenyan sand boa this halloween so thanks for the info!
I know I’m weird but every time he finishes a sentence he takes some air and I can’t stop ignoring it lol
Now i keep noticing it 😂
So..... he is breathing?
Omg lol
Doesn’t everyone? Lol
Just got my chrested gecko cayanne. Pepper or kai for short. Question is should i weigh it during quarentine and how often?
Thanks really helpful
So, after cleaning an enclosure or handling/feeding a quarantined animal, do you just wash your hands or take a shower or what , to make sure that you don't spread anything? Also, how often do you suggest cleaning a quarantined enclosure?
does that include preparing food separately for quarantine animals?
Love your hair
How do you maintain humidity for your BP while in quarantine? I’m using paper towels and struggling to keep humidity in the 60s
Today is one year since I started watching you
Hi Tyler do you happen to have any videos on keeping away gnats from/out of humid enclosures
Hi Tyler love your videos your an amazing person with reptiles. I also love reptiles eventually I want to make my own reptile room. I am going to get a bearded dragon after the first of the year I have question so I do not really have another room to quarantine the dragon besides my room and I am planning on keeping it in my room I can quarantine it in my room but with two separate tanks and keep the quarantine one separated from it's actual enclosure in the same room and also do I need to keep my cat out of my room while the dragon is in quarantine? And thank you so much have a blessed day and love your videos
Can you use the same tank for quarantine and when the process is finished if you thoroughly clean it between uses
If you can use the tank after quarantine. The answer is yes if your snake is healthy and passed quarantine from your observations. There should be no problem because you observed no illnesses or mites. It’s always good to clean the tank.
Question, if you buy an animal that needs to burrow, like a sandboa, do you still use paper towels will they be fine with it?
QUESTION: what if you don’t have another room to put them in?
Kingken _ if you absolutely cannot put them in another room or even in another place like a friends or parents etc etc just keep them as far as possible from your other animals. Like across the room and make sure you keep everything separate don’t share feeding tongs, water bowls or other things that carry water like spray bottles etc or any other tools. Also use gloves and wash your hands after touching your new animal. Make sure to attend to this new animal AFTER you’ve finished your routine with your other animals for the day.

How do you corentin a reptile that requires high humidity?
Hi Tyler. Great video. I asked this question a couple of people, but nobody answered me :D . Have you heard about a Reptilinks (sausages for snakes )? And what is your opinion about it? I'm sorry that the question is not about quarantine, but I'm really interested in your opinion about it.

The only other animals that I have are cats and dogs so should I still quarantine?
do you need to quarantine your animals again if you move house or not

I don't even have reptiles but here i am
I looovvvvveeeee your videos
So I'm getting a crested gecko on saturday. The thing is is I don't have anywhere to put a quarantine tank. Anyone have any suggestions??
Video was great I just feel like it’s a bad a idea to quarantine reptiles
Jfjjcjudususushdjd 4 hrs late to watch this 😩😩 atleast its not days like the last vid 😂
If you use a large plastic tub to quarantine a full grown ball python what do you do for heating and uvb the heat would burn the plastic top until I would put it in its tank with heat pads
You can put a heat pad connected to a thermostat on the tub
Tyler Rugge that won’t burn or melt it?
what would you do if you had a feeding mouse and no animal to give it to? can you refreeze it or just throw it away?
Never refreeze frozen mice, it has to be thrown away.
I'm a big fan
Plzzzzzzz give a time answering your questions in insta/just plz do it regularly
So I had a gecko and it live 8 years and it’s been 9 months since it died; I got all new stuff and don’t have any animals right now. I want to get another gecko should I still quarantine it if there’s nothing for it to get sick.
You don’t have to quarantine but you should observe the new gecko and get a wellness exam done by a reptile vet
Hey Tyler I got a baby blue tongue skink over a month ago from a breeder and I found that he has mites 😥 Its been a nightmare trying to treat them, I can tell he is stressed bc I have to keep giving him betadine baths and I just want them gone
I don't have a house big enough to put everything in one room anyway so I don't have to worry about this too much. Definitely wish I had a big enough house to rescue that many animals tho
where do u live in MI cuz I live there too
I live in the lower peninsula
I keep my animals in my bedroom. I have a 10 gal freshwater tank, two hamsters and a crested gecko. I want a snake. What do I do about quarantine if I have no other room in the house I could use?
Just keep it away from the other animals. Clean any surfaces that both animals will be going on such as your bed etc. And don't handle them near each other.
Woooouw I’m early 🐍🦎🐢
Oof I love animals!!
With my snake I have the coconut fiber substrate do I change it to paper tawel
What kind of snake is it? I like using paper towels because they're easier to clean and keep the humidity where I want it.
Ok he is a baby ball python
Hippymaster for ball pythons either is fine
Do a hair tutorial
Do I quarantine a snake if its my first snake?
yes, to check if it has any visable illnesses, i would say only for a week or two ? im not super informed on the entirety of quarentine but i would say yes

How do you feed your snake in quarantine? Some snakes you have to feed outside it's enclosure, would you recommend doing that for a quarantine?
Ariel Maddox If for some reason you have to feed your snake outside it’s enclosure, I would just do it in the same room and maybe have a designated feeding bin for that snake. 😁
❤️ ball pythons
What would you say is the ideal temp and humidity percentage for a crested gecko.
Humidity 60-70% at absolute lowest it can go to about 55%, temps sound be mid to high 70s
Laney Smith do u have a crested gecko?
@@stephengoodrum821 if you don't trust their advice then *actually do your research* online 🙄 then you wouldn't have to ask.
