I am a little more curious about the actual properties of the virus itself. I have my BP's in one room and my boa in another. I usually take care of the BP's first and then the boa. But, what I keep wondering about is, if my boa is an IBD carrier, then is keeping them in separate rooms enough. Basically, how long does IBD survive in air? I have ventilation fans running in both rooms, so is it possible the the virus can be spread around the house from room to room? Or, if I inhale the virus, and later, cough or sneeze in the BP room, have I just contaminated the room? I know there are probably no definitive answers to these questions. This is something that I wonder about when thinking if merely keeping them in sepapate rooms is enough. I guess the best case scenario is to have separate facilities for each species and wearing bio suits in the boa room, but this is not practcal. So, in the end, it is more of a gamble that you hope you don't lose...
