That's pretty neat. Nice to see that they may be able to screen snakes for the IBD. That could save a lot of potential heart break for people.

Thanks for sharing this find.

Crossing my fingers and hoping first the animal remains healthy and second, that if not an extended quarantine period will be enough to prevent infection of other animals if I am unlucky enough to acquire an infected animal.
