I agree with Oh....

There is the possibility of somanella (pretty sure I butchered that spelling) but I have never gotten it. Just good practice to keep it all clean and wash your hands.

IBD is a virus that will kill your BPs it is carried by Boa's so its a good thing to not keep the two together as a boa can live with it and transfer it to your BP. There is a "test" to see if your boa is a carrier although its not 100% accurite and it is dangerous.

As far as a shot ....I have heard of a "mite shot"...Jim brought it up in another thread after he read about it. Quite frankly....I think its hocus pocus. Kind of like some of that "water enhancer" for color. icky!!
