Emroul, thanks for the links. I didn't realize that IBD was a possible airborne illness. Other than mites, etc I was having a difficult time figuring out what might be transmitted between snakes.

Now my question is this...some sources say quarantine for 1 month, some say 1-3 months, some say 3-6 months, etc. I don't know which to do. I realize that some boids (particularly boas) may be asymptomatic with regards to IBD. What's the 'life cycle' of mites? Now I'm boggled by the different recommendations on how long to quarantine.
