I think Joe's comment was just meant to let you know that a connection to your original thread would help people follow the story better. I do understand your desire to start a new thread because the issue is new and rather unique. Here's a link to your other thread that describes the medical problems you've been experiencing:

With so many new threads being created each day, it's hard for folks to read them all...and even when they do read them, they may not remember who posted it and not connect your new thread to your original story.
ANYhow....I've been doing this (running this forum) for a very long time, and I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever seen this particular issue brought up or discussed. Some of the big breeders who work with thousands of snakes might have seen something like this. You might consider dropping an e-mail to a few and asking about it if you have specific questions you'd like to find answers for.
I'm very sorry your first experience with these beauties is fraught with so much illness. I hope for healing....but I also hope that this doesn't put you off of owning other snakes in the future. 99% of the time, when purchased from a reliable breeder, these animals are very healthy and hardy.
I commend your efforts to take care of your baby, and I pray it all works out!
