    And I believe any boid/boa species can carry both without symptoms for a very long time, and Dumeril's boas included. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
    In baby boas IBD kills them just as fast as pythons. I have done tons of research on IBD and thats really what ive usually found.

    However, adult boas can have it for a long time and not show it for a while.
