Boas- IBD?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I'm starting a snake collection, and am really interested in getting a hog island boa (and a brazilian rainbow)!! They're so pretty- two of my favorite snakes. But, as a paranoid snake parent, I'm terrified of IBD spreading to my pythons. Just how common is IBD? And is there a mostly reliable way to test for it? If so, how much does it cost?
I was trying to search these questions up on trusty ol google but I couldn't find straight answers. Maybe I'm just tired, but I just didn't see anything.
Depending on how much it is, I would be willing to pay for a test since I'm only going to be getting two boas..

I would keep my boas and pythons on opposite sides of the room just in case.

Would asking the breeder if they've had any problems with IBD before help any?
Sorry for all the questions..

Is it common probably not, however it would really be hard to tell since animals can be asymptomatic for years and anyone experiencing IBD in their collection is not likely to make this public or talk about it.

DR Jacobson of the university of Florida has work extensively on IBD and there is now a reliable blood test, as for anything the total cost will vary (vet visit, drawing blood, sending the blood out, the test itself) so you will have to ask your vet.
