Would you pay more for a ball python or boa with a recent clean IBD test?

The number of asymptomatic carriers uncovered by this test will shock the crap out of a lot of people. In time, as the test becomes more popular, you will need to screen your collection in order to move a snake to anyone who knows what IBD is.

If I were a boa breeder I would get ahead of the curve and clear my animals now and not do business without anyone who can produce the paperwork showing their stock is clean.

This is what I was getting at - a reputable seller will test, in fact, will have to test - because if buyers routinely have new arrivals tested as part of the QT process, then selling just one carrier of IBD will put a rather permanent crimp in your sales.
