Paramyxovirus

did some reading on this. apparently it can affect pretty much any vertebrate. there are strains for birds, just about everything and its pretty nasty stuff. its like RI with a serious kick in the junk. i hope for your sake this is not the case for you :(

So, you're basically spreading rumors?

Was there a positive diagnosis?

There ARE signs.

Perhaps your friend was confused as to what exactly killed the snakes.

Or was it two friends?

I am just sharing what I was told. And in order for it to be a rumor there has to be someone negatively affected by the story. I was simply sharing... sorry to hurt your feelings.

Not quite, and it's important that it be a fact not a rumor. It's a very serious thing to say someone had/has this in their collection.

Well then because I was not there when the vet examined her snakes, disregard what I have been told, and what I said. And I wont ever speak such blasphemous lies again!

The blasphemy part is up to you but spreading unsubstantiated crap is pretty much lying which is pretty much stupid.

IF there's Paramyxo up there you should let other keepers know.

If you're just an attention seeking parasite, then by all means, continue on.

Guys,

I understand how serious the ramifications of illness like this in peoples collections can be, and the extreme damage unfounded allegations can do to someones livelyhood and reputation, but PLEASE try and keep it civil and avoid name calling.
