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

Not to jack but I hate to disagree with you here. There are too many people trying to make a quick buck and think claiming "HET" to get a higher price. I am not saying they are all crooked but lets be honest. Any written document can be faked.

While this is true, forged test results or vet invoices can be discovered within weeks or even days, depending on how long the test takes, should a buyer receive a snake with IBD. The buyer can also open a dispute with PayPal or their CC company - "Item not as described".

OTOH a fake het may take months or even years to prove out, especially if it was purchased as a hatchling, leaving the buyer with little or no recourse for a refund by the time the deception is discovered.
