Actually, doing a liver biopsy isn't that bad of a procedure, and it is highly accurate in detecting IBD. It's just rather expensive.
Unless of course the snake is not shedding virus when the biopsy is taken. That is why determination in live animals is so difficult. You need a much bigger sample than can be taken from a live snake.

I don't believe 70% here in the states but from what I understand it is becoming common in Europe.
