I honestly believe it is, though I hope I am wrong, but he could have been the poster boy for IBD, he had a lot of the symptoms.

My biggest concern was if the store was buying from a breeder with infected or passive carriers, or if their stock was infected. Sorry if I caused anyone to panic, this has just been an emotional experience for my family. If I get word of the results, I will definitely post it here.
Several things mimic IBD. If the store sends it for a necropsy (i doubt they will spend the money) you should insist they give you the results. Im sorry your pet died, I understand what these little guys mean to us all.
With that said none of us should ever make a thread/post saying something died of IBD on a whim. Thats one disease that can cause a world of trouble for Herpers.
Clean everything like you mentioned and im sure you'll have fun looking into whats next.
