Not sure I understand this... why was the mouth bleeding, and did your friend think that was a sign of IBD? What experience does your friend have in diagnosing this disease?

and yes ... I just got Boa near the ball cages. Could that be the problem ?
Boas can be "silent carriers" of IBD, meaning they will carry the disease but not show any symptoms... did you quarantine the boa, or just put it next to your python as soon as it came home? That could definitely be a problem, although I'm not qualified to give more info than that.

so far my ball haven't take any food for about 3 weeks. I did test whether my ball has stargazing by taking her tail but it didn't show up like those who got stargazing ( i check on youtube)
How is the snake doing now? Still showing symptoms?
