Terry.....what is the exact reason for keeping newly acquired torts apart from the existing ones for SO long?
Once they are cleared by the vet, wormed, appear to be healthy, etc, why wouldn't you put them together?
What are you watching for that may not appear for 6 months?

: Even if you get another tortoise of the SAME species, it must be quarantined for at least 3 months, or better still 6.
: It should have no contact with the sulcata you have already, during this time.
