: How does Crypto find its way into your collection? Must it come in via new additions? How can one prevent crypto? How long should snakes be quarantined? Just some more questions after reading the great posts below.

Dan,
Please see my post a few days ago in response to your question. Also, reptiles are not susceptible to the same crypto as mammals. The only way mice can transmit it is if you reuse them from one cage to another.Then they are carrying reptile crypto on them as any inanimate object. Also, normal fecal analysis won't detect crypto. Samples need to be sent to certain labs. I work in a major Reptile House and we still need to send out fecals out when testing for crypto.
Be careful who you accept advice from on the Internet.
Regards,
Steve
