Good luck with that.
Re: New Snake - IBD Concern
So my ball pythons would not be in any danger, right? I've had my little colombian red tail for about 2 years now. I did the normal QT procedure and then they were in the same room. Right now my boa is in my BP rack because I just don't have the space to set up another enclosure until we move (she's still small due to feeding issues)
Since the ball pythons have been in the same room for a year and a half and in the same rack for almost a year, there is no risk of IBD in my collection is there?

If you've had your boa in the same rack with your BPs for that long, you're fine.

*sigh of relief*
Would a normal QT period be enough for something like this? I usually QT for 60-90 days. I do plan on getting more boas in the future, so I'm wondering if it would be safe to house them all in the same room.

If you plan on housing your Boas with your BP's (in the same room I mean), I'd say a 90 day quarantine isn't a bad idea. The most important thing is to make sure there's no mites or parasites. This seems to be the most common factor with the speading of IBD.
