I couldn't resist...

Imageshack does that once in a while. It's usually because their servers are overloaded or there was an error with the upload. Try again.

EDIT: I just checked my imageshack. A lot of my photos are doing that. A server or three might be down, under maintenance, out of bandwidth, disk arrays being defragmented, etc. They'll get it straightened out eventually.

Please remember the importance of a quarantine period

Say what... i really have to?

No you don't but you put all your other snakes at risk if you don't.
You might get lucky and nothing happens. I hope that's the case.
A strict quarantine period protect both the new and old snakes.
It's well worth the time since the introduction of some diseases can kill an entire group or collection.
It's something you have to implement and enforce.

Yeah, shows can be a real cesspool of disease. I would heed Steve's advice. Use a separate room even.

It will probably be OK, and it's not too late to quarantine now, but if you don't do it and it's not OK, the consequences can be disastrous. One snake with "crypto" or whatever it's called (a virus I think) and it's all over with.

Crap. I can't do another room. I don't have another cage... I cab use a big tub.. What do I look for?

Can you look at that link and see if he's known to you, or at all reputable?

on the tub make SURE its escape proof like when i had to use a tub i cut a hole in the top of the lid and got some old window nylon and placed 2x4's around the edges with weights
Sounds extreme and call me crazy but thats what i had to do

reputable?

Never make a decision about quarantine based on who you bought the snake from.
A quarantine policy should be blind to that.
My policy is simple. All new snakes are quarantined, period.
No offense to the breeders they came from. I'm sure the breeders have an equally tough quarantine period. They have much to lose if they don't.

True. Didn't mean to imply if that is how it was taken. Even a reputable dealer can be unaware of a disease running rampant through his collection until it's too late.

You meant you guys quarantine snakes from anyone, like Scott or Don?

I have no way really to do it. I will though, I guess...

I'd still like to know about this breeder and if he's reputable. I will still do it, but I would like to know.

I do. It's no offense to them just a policy to protect my snakes.
I hope the people that get snakes from me quarantine them. It's just good policy.
I would take no offense to it.
