Re: I think my snake has IBD! Please someone help!
Bleach doesn't kill IBD? Are you sure? I thought it killed, pretty much everything. It will kill HIV.
Add: I would be surprised if the virus lives more than 12 hours on any surface. This of course does not get rid of the mite problem however. Make sure the other snake is as far away as possible from anything the other one touched.

Hi,
Before making up your mind watch the video in This Post - that is not ibd but the symptoms look similar.
It's entirely up to you and you certainly know your finances best but a necropsy would have told the vet what to look for /treat in your little girl.

I can understand what you mean in that video, however King was far more eratic, very much like the boa in the video I linked. It was almost like he was having a fit everytime he moved.
I will definitely look for PAM before considering frontline. I have not seen any mites at all on my female, she is just sitting around digesting her mouse from yesterday morning. Once 48 hrs is up I'll get her out for a closer look at her behaviour.
I am going to hold back on getting another snake for a good few months to see how Oriana's health is. I was originally planning to buy a double vivarium but now I should wait as to prevent the new snake being infected.
R.I.P King
