IBD question

i know IBD can be fatal to BPs. but cant it be fatal to all types of pythons? burms, retics, etc? also, wish me luck. nothing snake related though. i will be trying to max 335 and possibly 340 at bench tomarrow after school. just thought id share this with all of you, since, its one of my most favorite hobbys (lifting).

Good luck I used to lift a lot too back in my wrestling/early college days... then i got busy haha.

IBD is eventually fatal to anything it infects, to the best of my knowledge!!!

Good luck lifting - I recently started weight training myself, so fill me in on your progress! I need motivation!!! :)

K

keep lifting!!! it just makes you feel better!!! behind on my cardio, though!!! good luck!

KLG, stick with it. i started lifting my freshman year and my max was 185...205 at the end of the yr. i look to small to be doing what im att...330...so its fun to shock people. ill post the results under this topic.

I can bench 95, LOL. I'm not much into heavy lifting....I have a 36 inch vertical though. :D

Lifting giant pitchers of margaritas is where I'm at!

I try to get a good bicep workout by doing those 12 ounce curls. I keep thinkin that I must be gettin stronger cuz it gets lighter every time i lift it. But then I go & get a new one & it is heavy again. Until I start lifting & then...

"Corona Curls" are my specialty!

Ah Corona, a wedge of lime... it just doesn't get better than that.

well, i got 335

Awesome! I lifted 9 pounds last night! (12oz at a time..... that's a twelve pack..... wow.) actually last night I was drinking white russians anyways but it sounded better to say I lifted nine pounds 12oz at a time. The Dude Abides.

Ya know Jonah, the only reason that I ever would have even considered drinking a caucasion is because of that movie. They are very delicious indeed!

Hey rex I thought you were supposed to go down in weight not up, j/k, lol. ;)

Rex,
Do you play football??

nope. i dont play any sport. i use to play football though.

Hmmm that is like 4 of me. I can lift 45 lbs=5 gallons of paint.
Back to the original question what is IBD?

IBD stands for Inclusion Body Disease. It's some sort of virus that affects boids. Boas can carry it for years without showing any signs, but if a python catches it, it is usually fatal very quickly. It is eventually fatal in any snake that has it. It is contagious. The only way to know if a healthy looking boa is carrying the virus is to have a liver biopsy done...which I would imagine is a somewhat expensive test and quite risky for the snake.

I try to exercise as little as possible, wouldn't wanna break out in a case of health or nothing :wink:
