I quarantine between 30 and 90 days-depending.

Depending on who the breeder/previous owner was-Anthony's geckos get 30 days.  I know how healthy his geckos are from personal experience.  FireCrested is on my 30 day list, along with Monster.

Other breeders that I know personally get 30 to 60-depending on if I got other geckos from them in the past, and how healthy those geckos were when they arrived.

PetCo/PetSmart/other shops get 90 days. 

Expo geckos get 90 days.

Call me paranoid, but the less I know bout the breeder or the more animals they're exposed to, the longer they stay in quarantine.

I'm not wiping out my collection because I'm in a hurry to get them into other tanks or breeding.
