    We do have a good herp vet around here, so maybe I could take him straight to the vet - followed by a good long quarantine. Hmmmmmm.
    A vet will do you no good in diagnosing IBD unless you want to spend a lot of money on a test that may tell you nothing.

    As for QT - some boas can be asymptomatic for years..........how long were you planning on keeping the animal in QT?
