Is it possible for someone make to make a sticky thread with a brief explanation of common (visible) BP illnesses... how they're contracted, how they're treated, and most importantly... how to SPOT them, with PICTURES?

The ideal person to do this will probably be a professional breeder or admin... someone with LOTS of experience with BPs and have encountered several of these illnesses. Of course, this isn't to say that someone without such experience cannot do research using Google and do this. Pictures of the diseases most likely won't all be taken by the poster anyway (unless they're really anal about documenting all their BPs).

I've been surfing these forums extensively for a few days now and thought that something like this will be a very helpful addition to the knowledge base. Maybe those who have taken closeup pictures of the illnesses can post here and we'll eventually fit it all into one post?

Thanks in advance!
