Always, especially since my snake room has my ball pythons. He is mite free though, I know that for sure. I have a little trick I use for mites, maybe if you guys are nice I'll share some day. But as far as IBD goes, no way I'm letting that stuff get to my BP's. I'd be sick to death over it.
IBD can lay dormant for years, so unless you keep him away from your pythons completely it's a risk everyone with boas and pythons take. Skip wrote a very interesting and eye opening article on IBD, I'd do a search for it.
