I don't doubt your judgement about it being time to put the poor thing down...but I would not call it "IBD" unless you get that specifically diagnosed from a vet who does the tests required to identify it. IBD is a very specific and serious diagnosis, but it gets misunderstood far too often by folks referring to it every time they see a wobbly or sick snake.
As for the equipment being safe to reuse...if you can insure it's been been properly disinfected, I don't see why not.
