This cannot be true!
I have it on the bestest of authorities that IBD DOES NOT EXIST!
All of the people who have been devastated by it or lost beloved pets by it have been fooled by some vast conspiracy.
Don't believe me? Well maybe you will believe the utmost authority on all things boa:

roxydementia: what do you think the future holds for IBD research? i have had 2 suspec boas (did not know where to send them back then to be sure) but no one else in the collection was infected its been years. i now run an informal rescue and keep new ones out at least 6 months, but that limits me on space big time, any experiance or advice for me? (any interest in donating cages to a rescue LOL)
rzaology: ?

RonB- IBD, your thoughts?
TheBoaphile - I don't believe in it. Long story.
TheBoaphile - Too long to explain here. I need to write something up on it...
TheBoaphile - The IBD wackos are moving away from their once long held, bordering on religeous, belief about it now...
See, all you IBD "whackos" have been misled. THERE IS NO IBD!
So sorry ER12, IBD exists in the same magical land as the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and OJ Simpson's innocence! You have been suckered in by the conspiracy. One of these days the Boaphile will come around with his comprehensive write up including all of his evidence and put this sad farce to bed once and for all.
Elliott Jacobson and his program at UF will be unmasked for the money laundering operation that funds the sheep sex trade in Kazakhstan. And Buchmeir will be exposed as the Kris Kardashian of the Microbiology and Epidemiology community - selling his soul for fame. Wait and see! Wait and see!
