Re: During my absence from BP.net
I'm so sorry :( I can't imagine what you're going through.. Just reading that makes me so sad. That must have been so devastating. Loosing an animal is so hard.. Loosing more than one, is almost unbearable. I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I don't really fully understand what IBD is, but I read that link Littleindiangirl posted and the thing that stuck in my mind was that it said it was "uncurable". I'm sorry for your great loss, but know that I, among many other people are here for you.

Re: During my absence from BP.net
I am sorry for your loss. That would be very hard to deal with. I hope you can find it in you to own more again. I don't think that love will ever go away.:(
Re: During my absence from BP.net
Wow, I am sorry that you lost your collection. However, if IBD were transferred from the lady to your snakes.. I don't see that as any kind of failure ou your part. So you should not feel like you're admitting failure that was not yours. Who among us can say that they've never let a fellow boid keeper handle one of their snakes? Not many, if any at all, in my opinion. Perhaps one of the snakes had it when you got it, and it spread around? Again, that really would not seem to be your fault in my opinion.. you could quarantine a snake for months and not technically know if it had ibd, as per the testing being unreliable if even possible on most people's living snakes..
I wish you sympathy in all of this regardless.
