Hi Hannah
As Sue has stated both herpes virus /mycoplasma can be detected through a fecal screening or a blood test, if i were you and you were acquiring adult animals for breeding i would screen for these first if your results come back clean then still at least a three month quarantine period would be necessary to check no other bacterial or viral problems appear ,respiratory disease is one of the major problems to look out for .
My captive bred female mediterranean spur thighs started to become sexual reproductive at 12yrs old they then measured 8-9inches in length i will admit they grew slightly fast in there first 2-3yrs causing some bumping of the scutes but now as adults look well and breed freely .
