Burm Had IBD--Had to Euthanize It.

[CoolioTiffany]

So was it diagnosed with IBD or you simply took a preemptive strike? Also Freezing the animal will make it impossible to do a Necropsy. freezing them destroys the tissue and makes pathology near impossible to determine.

I understand your concern and can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing..but if this animal has been in your collection longer than a few weeks you might want to start looking at your other pythons.

As for whats ok to save...I'd say nothing..

there is no known way IBD is transmitted or how long it can live outside a host.. trash it all.. and anything he touch or was with in 20' of..just to be safe..

Hopefully you properly QT'ed this animal..

Every snake in my room seems to be OK, I'm not noticing any signs of them acting strange like the Burm did. In the QT room I checked on everyone before misting, and everyone seemed to be just fine. However, my mean Blood is closest to my Burm, though she is still as mean as always and never noticed a change with her behavior, but I will definitely pull her out later and check on her.

He was QT'ed in the far corner of the room, away from the entrance of the room. Like I said the Blood was closest to him but I don't think anything major could have happened with her, although I will double check her later.

I will disinfect anything he touched and throw away anything I need to so I'm sure my snakes cannot get whatever he had.
