Because he would have been dead a month ago in all likelyhood.

I don't know much about IBD, I just looked it up tonight, but I read they can have it for years before developing symptoms. Also they can catch it easily from other snakes or there mites.
He is from a pet store that had many snakes FULL of mites, I didn't know this at the time, but now I know because everyone of them were soaking in water bowls, they also had a very large snake that was sick with something, he looked horrible, poor thing.
