She kept 3 ball pythons together in a cage (I knew next to nothing about reptiles at the time, she was the "expert" back then) well she bought a boa and kept it in a different cage, but she had them all out together all the time and they no doubt got exposure to each other (she was one of those "they're all friends"....) . id say about 2 weeks after the boa came home, one of the ball pythons (smallest one) started stargazing, stopped eating, neuro problem got worse and eventually died, not even a few days after the next one started the same process. even before that one died, the largest one started the process. She never had them tested or anything, but from what I was reading, it followed right along with IBD. About all I can say is, it affected the smallest one first and largest one last, but they all had it happen.
