Hi,

Well if he has had both in close proximity for a period of time greater than say three months the BP would probably be dead if the boa was carrying IBD.

Some breeders actually use a male BP in the boa quarantine room as a tester for IBD ( like using a canary down a mine to find gas ).

If he had not previously had them in close proximity then he gets to wait and see if the python dies (definately the worst case scenario - don't immediately panic ) or if they transmitted any of the many other diseases to each other such as RI's, mites carrying blood bourne illness etc.

My point was we do not know anything about the length of time he has had either or the quarantine procedures he uses.
