that DOES make me feel better, I had never heard that info before. We did buy Nagini as a baby and have had her for about a year now.

Makes me feel a little nicer about adding a new boa pet to the family someday.. With proper quarantine of course!

Quarantine is just so ridiculously important, I really hope all new reptile keepers realize this very quickly when they start keeping their animals!

It's true, it sounds so incredibly common. But there are so many keepers who don't join forums, or if they do, don't really decide to make a post saying "hey guys, guess what disease my reptiles still don't have!", while the people with sick animals are more likely to post online about it.

Still a very scary thing! I hope someday it is possible to treat or it just is easier to avoid! In a perfect world I'd hope it goes away all together!
