Pythons are notorious for going down the tubes FAST. Days? A couple weeks?

Boas are notorious for being carriers and not showing symptoms for long periods of time.

I've never heard of IBD with regards to colubrids or other snakes.
Some pythons succumb quickly - others may remain asymptomatic as long as boas do.

Similar inclusion bodies have also been found in colubrids and crotalids. When I e-mailed Dr. Jacobson he said that it had only been found in one colubrid and that it needed to be revisited because it was based on H&E staining.
