I'm starting a snake collection, and am really interested in getting a hog island boa (and a brazilian rainbow)!! They're so pretty- two of my favorite snakes. But, as a paranoid snake parent, I'm terrified of IBD spreading to my pythons. Just how common is IBD? And is there a mostly reliable way to test for it? If so, how much does it cost?
I was trying to search these questions up on trusty ol google but I couldn't find straight answers. Maybe I'm just tired, but I just didn't see anything.
Depending on how much it is, I would be willing to pay for a test since I'm only going to be getting two boas..

I would keep my boas and pythons on opposite sides of the room just in case.

Would asking the breeder if they've had any problems with IBD before help any?
Sorry for all the questions..
