    IBD is something you should really focus on learning about, though. When a boa has IBD, the boa can take a very long time to show symptoms until finally one day you notice a symptom of IBD. Pythons show this disease quicker than the boas, and sometimes the boas could have it and show no symptoms at all. IBD can only be spread between boas and pythons though, so you don't have to worry about any colubrids or venomous species getting IBD.
    IBD has been reported in both colubrids and vipers.

    No one knows just how long pythons can remain asymptomatic - so a 30 day, 60 day 180 day, 240 day, 360 day quarantine is worth a hill of beans when it comes to IBD.
